Yes-located on the side of the head-fly wheel side. It is an unusual place but that is where it goes. There is a freeze plug there. Hit on one side with a drift punch and rotate the plug to where you can grab it with pliers and pull out. It is 35 MM in Diameter. The Katz 11422 400 watt heater (15 dollars on Amazon) is your best choice or buy a bobcat/Kubota part for whole lot more.
If it has a block heater it will be installed on the passenger side of the engine , in place of one of the freeze plugs ( core plug , expansion plug etc )
The Dodge Sprinter did not come out until 2002. The heater is an add on option that is installed in a freeze plug on the passenger side of the block.
There is not a block heater on this car. My 1991 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX had a block heater but I can't remember where it was installed on the engine , I believe on the passenger side of the engine block in a freeze plug ( expansion plug ) hole
On a Ford 300 inline-six engine, the block heater is typically installed in one of the freeze plug holes located on the driver's side of the engine block. Specifically, it usually goes into the freeze plug hole closest to the rear of the engine, which is generally the second freeze plug from the back. Ensure proper installation to avoid leaks and ensure effective warming of the engine coolant.
On a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu with a 2.5L engine, the block heater is typically installed in the engine block itself, specifically in a designated freeze plug location. To locate it, you may need to look for a small cord that emerges from the engine, often near the front of the engine bay. If your vehicle does not have a factory-installed block heater, you may need to have one professionally installed. Always consult the owner's manual or a service manual for specific instructions and details.
To normally install a block heater you must remove an expanstion/ freeze plug in tighten in the block heater. The 6 cylinder 4.2L engine unfortunately does not appear to have any such plugs. The V8 engine should have a screw in style block heater installed in the left front of the engine block just below the cylinder head.
There are different types of block heaters... Most common one is a freeze plug style heater. you have to remove a freeze plug and install the heater in its location. unfortunatly some engine blocks, such as Saturn engines, do not have freeze plugs. some vehicles have to use an external heater, where it mounts to the outside of the engine block, these heat from the outside of the engine to the inside, and are less effective. Another common one is installed in your radiator hose, simple to install and effective. other options are dipstick heaters, or magnetic oil pan heaters.
The engine block heater usually replaces the passenger side rear freeze plug.
If equipped normally a block heater is installed in freeze out plug on the block. Unaware of this being a factory option.
It may or may not, block heaters are not factory installed unless special ordered.
There are different types of block heaters. You can place a magnetic heater on the engine block, transmission pan, or on the oil pan. A hot pad heater can also be placed on the oil pan or transmission pan. An external engine oil reservoir heater is plumed into the oil supply and pumps the oil through the heater and keeps it at a set temperature. A freeze plug type heater is installed by removing one of the freeze plugs and replacing it with this heater. It then heats the coolant, thus keeping the engine warm. Then there is the lower radiator hose heater that also keeps the coolant warm. And there is also the dipstick tube type heater that you simply install by removing the engine oil dipstick and replacing it with this type heater. There are multiple variations of all these type heaters.
first, an engine heater has to have been installed on the vehicle. if the car did have an engine heater installed in it, most newer vehicles would have had a soft plug heater put in. soft plugs are located on the side of the engine block. they knock that plug out and install a heater in it. look for any ac wire( it will look like a three prong plug on any of your household appliances) in the engine compartment.
