The block heater on a C-13 Cat motor is typically located on the engine block itself, near the bottom of the engine. It is often positioned on the side or the front of the engine block for easy access. The block heater is used to pre-heat the engine coolant in cold weather conditions, aiding in easier starting and reducing wear on the engine components. It is important to consult the specific engine manual for the exact location and installation instructions of the block heater on a C-13 Cat motor.
The block heater, on your 2001 C 15 Caterpillar diesel engine, can be removed by loosening the retaining nut. The block heater will easily come out. Reverse the process to install the new heater.

Ah, the Cat C13 engine is a magnificent piece of machinery! Its fuel consumption can vary depending on factors like load, speed, and maintenance. Remember, just like painting a happy little tree, it's important to take care of your engine and use it wisely to ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently.
Disclaimer: I haven't worked specifically with the C13, but I've worked with several other models of Cat engines (and would never own anything made after the 6NZ, personally). In my experience, they've been in the side of the block on the left hand side of the engine, maybe just slightly past the center point going towards the front of the engine.
Depends on which year you're referring to for the Cat C13... after 2004, Cats went downhill... after 2007, they really took a dive. You definitely don't want an ACERT or SDP Cat.
The real question would be WHICH 475 Cat motor? 475 is just a horsepower rating - The C13 and C15 were both available at that horsepower rating.
Varies by engine. A Cummins will run about 40 at idle, whereas a PACCAR MX will run about 80.

Did you overfill the oil?
It can, if the substrate breaks free from inside the body of the cat, it can block the outlet pipe. If the exhaust can not get out, the engine will stall.
You need to specify which model Caterpillar motor you have. 455 is just a horsepower rating - several models were available with a 455 horsepower rating, to include the 3406B, 3406E, C12, C13, and C15.
