Diesel Liberty Engine Block Heater
 
According to the stickier, my 06 CRD Liberty has an engine block heater,
but looking under the hood, I'm having a hard time finding it. Any
suggestions?

Have the sales person where you bought it show you. He will either find it
right away or you will have fun watching him look for it. A diesel "has to"
have a block heater, but this wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer left
something off.

Not over here - never seen one. For a start, there isn't anywhere public to
plug it into.

Hmm, didn't think of that. "Over here" people plug them in at night, which
is the worst time, but they are usually at home then, with an extension
cord. In Canada and Alaska, away from the warm spots, even the gas engine
vehicles need block heaters. I'll bet the Norwegians have them. They make
a world of difference.

But IIRC you have some supermarkets that you can plug into as well ?
Beats lighting a fire under your diesel sump :-)
I remember changing some gearbox oil one winter - was only about -5C and the
oil had the consistency of jelly.
In the end I had to heat it up in one of mum's old saucepans before it would
flow ( yes, I got into trouble !).

I have done that. I used a Coleman Peak 1 backpacking stove.

Usually internal combustion engines stay warm enough to restart for an hour
or two. Overnight is the bad time.

Synthetic oils address this problem. Do you really want to drive off, with
the transmission and rear axle full of jelly?

I have done that. I used a Coleman Peak 1 backpacking stove.

Usually internal combustion engines stay warm enough to restart for an hour
or two. Overnight is the bad time.

Synthetic oils address this problem. Do you really want to drive off, with
the transmission and rear axle full of jelly?

Re: Diesel Liberty Engine Block Heater
 
I used to keep charcoal briquettes and a garbage can lid or hibachi in
the trunk when I lived where it was -40 or lower for weeks on end.

Even just going ice fishing for the day could need a warm up to turn
them over. A boost won't help in those temps.

Re: Diesel Liberty Engine Block Heater
 
I used to keep charcoal briquettes and a garbage can lid or hibachi in
the trunk when I lived where it was -40 or lower for weeks on end.

Even just going ice fishing for the day could need a warm up to turn
them over. A boost won't help in those temps.

It doesn't have to get all that cold for a blockheater to be nice to have.
We're only 100 miles North of Memphis, but there are still a few weeks in
the winter when a block heater makes life a little easier in the morning,
whether you're talking about a 4 cylinder car diesel or the ton trucks. Why
push the starter more than you have to?
