6.4L engine Block Heater?

[U&A]

it be nice to have it on those few weeks of below zero days in Michigan. It would make me feel better. I was told that a lot of times manufactures will put the element in the block and all you have to do is go buy an wire to plug into it.

anyone know?

I dont believe the 6.4 has a block heater. I dont think they need it...

what determines if it needs it or not.

I added the wire on my 6.7, it was really easy. But I'm not sure about the 6.4, that being said it hasn't been cold enough in the last couple years here in Southern PA. It is nice that it doesn't take as long for the heater to be putting out hot air.

Block heater on my 6.4L. I think almost every Canadian sold vehicle has one now as part of the "Canada" specs.

Check on the side of the block, if the element is already there, the cord is really all you need.

I have one on my 2015 Tradesman. I believe I have the plow prep package though. I used it during the really cold stretch last winter. The started seemed a little easier and it warmed up a couple minutes faster.

Are you saying that all the 6.4L have the heater element installed? And, all you need to do is plug it in?

That would be great - if so, what am I looking for.

On the Ram site when you are configuring a truck it is an add on option for $95.00

I can't say for sure. Just check for it or ask the parts counter. I was sure I had heard that they are already installed but you needed the tail from the heater.

all the cummins motors have them. just need to add the cord if its missing. not sure if the 6.4 is the same way, but i doubt it. my 6.4 has the heater, never used it.

Can you add a pic for the 6.4. Where it is located.

 

[stoney]

My has it as well due to my location.
I cannot see the engine builder not installing the element in certain motors based on which truck it will be installed in, so I am sure the element is there and just needs the cord.

id be interested in a pic or description that leads us in the right direction of were to look. Im assuming it is on the front of the block in a location were a plug might have been in the coolant jacket. thats just a guess from what i heard of as iv never seen one in person.

they do heat the coolant and not the oil anymore correct?

 

[avolnek]

I'd be curious to see a pic of this too... Would be completely new to me to see a hemi with a block heater. Not calling anyone a liar, just never witnessed such...

I have looked into this myself awhile back. Basically, your window sticker is going to say if you have a block heater installed or not. If installed as part of a regional package like Canada or some northern states, then "Engine Block Heater" is going to be listed in the standard equipment section of the window sticker. If an installed paid for option, then it will be listed in the option side.

Mopar Parts diagram shows it installed in the drivers side aft freeze plug location. I have checked my truck which does not list the engine block heater as either standard or an option on my window sticker, and it is not there on my truck. So basically if you got a engine block heater and not listed on the sticker, you got an assembly error freebie.

Mine has one as well. The plug will be ******* behind the bumper near where the tow hook is/would be on the passenger side.

I'd take pics but truck is in the body shop.

I saw that diagram which show the heater element on the driver's side rear.

And what confuses me is that people are saying the extension cord comes out near the oil filter which is on the passenger side front on the 6.4L.
