    cost effective, easy to install, and my last one lasted 10 years until i sold the truck with 215,000 miles.

    The OEM block heater will be the same as for a 2011 and earlier. The cartridge block heaters are very easy to install, with the exception of difficult access.

    I have the stock heater for my 2011. Came with it installed, but it works great. No complaints.
