Block heaters?

[Otto]

Do rangers come with block heaters(97)? Can't seem to find one under the hood and nothing in the manual...I think you can have them installed for 50 bucks or something. Anyone know anything abou this>?

none ever came with one that i am aware of. it wouldn't be difficult to install one, but from what i hear, the freeze plug style don't fit in the head. there's no room in there.

Yeah the 4.0's pretty jam-packed. I was just reading this and the guy said its under the front lip on the passenger side(3.0). http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_the_block_heater_cord_on_a_2007_Ford_Ranger

Ain't it a bit late to be looking for your block heater?


I keep my plug sticking out of the hole in my air dam. Haven't had to use it yet, been worse than -30 F but it's there if I do.
