I don't know in years but you can leave it plugged in for over the winter and it be fine. Just make sure you use a three prong extension cord when plugging it in. The block heater should be a three prong plug as well.
it doesnt matter how long u leave the block heater plugged in. i plug in when i am done driving for the day. the longer the heater is plugged in the warmer the engine is when u start it Block heaters are a huge draw on electricity. If you are plugging it in regularily, you can save yourself a ton of money by adding a timer. 2 or 3 hours is more than emough to start any light duty diesel in any weather. If it is having trouble starting after 3 hrs, the engine has issues.
Gas heaters are better. Gas heaters are cheaper and have a cheaper and easier maintenance, however oil heaters are less prone to leakage, but are more expensive and now steadily becoming outdated. Furthermore, oil heaters leave behind an odor and fewer personnel these days know how to deal with them, while most personnel that deal with heaters are trained in the matters of gas. Finally, gas is generally cheaper as oil heaters are far more expensive.
350 Engines dont have transmission fluid. The Transmission does. Start the engine, leave the trans in Park, pull the dipstick and look at it. fill to full mark when the engine is fully warned up
The Ford Explorers come with block heaters in Canada. I guess it depends on how cold it gets where you live. Look for an electrical cord that looks like an extension cord with a male end on it - the end that plugs into an electric outlet like you have at home. On my 1995, I just leave the end of the block heater cord laying inside of the front bumper , just to the left of the license plate when you are looking from the front. The cord could also be bundled up in the engine compartment on the passenger side. The block heater is installed on the passenger side of the engine, replacing one of the frost plugs, and the other end of the block heater cord plugs into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sorry, I used the wrong word, it's not a frost plug, they are called freeze plugs, or core plugs, sometimes expansion plugs .
no
It means to leave where you are.
If you had a block placed on you by someone with more authority then you, you should probably leave it alone.
he has a bad manner. He shouldn't be touching or hurting other person by any thing. Please tell him to "stop" this becuase it hurts you. If he doesn't stop hurting you...please leave him.
Yes there are 2 of them in the back of the block. To service them you must remove the transmission are pull the engine. You will see a bigger plug in the dead center of the back of the block, Do not tuch it , leave it alone. It is the cam plug, no coolant behind it. JUST OIL.
pull it inside a barn or some place warmer than out side put some kind of heat all around the truck something safe PLEASE put a charger on the battery's and Waite as long as you can but don't leave the heaters running without some one to watch them . and when the oil thins out some try to start it .if it doesn't start get all the heaters out of the building and try it with a small amount of starter fluid AND BE CAREFUL THAT STUFF IS VERY EXPLOSIVE . and if that doesn't work you need warm it inside LONGER. be four starting the heaters back up MAKE SURE all the starter fluid vapors are out of the building. you may have to rent some shop heaters.
block, leave, bury, draw a blank, blank out
He wants you to leave him alone.
