Block Heater Location

Hi guys,

I purchased the block heater for my 2021 from the dealership. Can I bother someone who has it to shoot some pictures of the exact location on the block please?

Thanks a lot.

Heard it's on passenger side at the back. Do I need to remove the skid plate and install it from the bottom? Waiting to see any pictures if possible. Thanks guys.

 

Can’t take a picture right now, but it’s on the drivers side facing rearward. You don’t have to remove the skid plate. If you get under the truck, it’s not hard to recognize.

 

Thanks for the fast reply. Good news that I don't have to remove the skid. Its so cold here today here like -25C. I ll have to wait till it gets warmer to get underneath.

 

It takes longer to crawl under the truck than to install it. If you lube it up really good, it’ll slide right in. Have some else under the hood that you can hand the cable to and some zip ties and you’re done.

 

Thanks Timmy. Thanks a lot.

 

Is this an OEM or aftermarket block hearer? Can you please provide a link or ok part number, I’d liked to get one. Thank you!

 

the one i got was OEM: PU140-00913 US-2

 

Do you if it would work on 2020?

 

I ll go take a look tonight. I ordered directly from dealer parts counter. Four parts. Heater and three cables.

 

not sure if it'd work on a '20. package oughta include 1 heater core, 1 cord, some grease, and a zip tie or two.

 

Zerostart and Kat's catalogs can be found here (couldn't attach them, as the files were too large):

stolen from the lexus forum. might be worth a shot
and they say Napa carries them.

Also sell a battery heater from KAT?

Good luck.

Looks like some people had success some didn't. But the KAT rep seemed to chime in and said they should fit.

 

for what it's worth, i steered clear of the aftermarket heaters on account of reading about the potential risk of fire. this is the 5th heater i've installed on a vehicle and i use my block heater pretty regularly for more than half the year (for the past 20+yrs).
