  • In this video I show the location and process for installing an engine block heater in a 2007-20020 Ford Edge, Ford Flex, Ford Explorer, Ford Taurus and other transverse mounted 3.5L engine equipped vehicles. I outline the process for removal of the original equipped plug and installation of a quality heater. Please take care to use safe lifting methods insuring personal safely when conducting these repairs.

    If the block heater goes into the coolant passage thru that freeze plug how does it warm up the engine oil?

    What do ya think of the inline heater's that pump the coolant around ?

    • @ThecardoctorTV
      @ThecardoctorTV  2 роки тому +1

      They add a lot of hose and connections, there is never enough room to properly mount them and they melt the check valve if the unit isn’t mounted low enough in the system. Not a fan but they do work well on older trucks and equipment with more space under the hood. They also circulate coolant and warm the entire system.

    Well if that heater can warm the block up in sunny alaska, it's got to be a decent quality.
    No point using a crappy piece of junk.

    does anyone ever use or make the manufacture the block heater that you cut into the cars heater core or bypass hose and clamp it on with the heater/pump assy to circulate the heated coolant.
