2015 engine block heater -unable to install

Yup, I have a Ford dually 7.3 Diesel that has never been plugged in even when I go to Tahoe/Truckee or when I lived in NY. But my needs for Taco is different

 

Hey OP.... Headed to Fairbanks in a couple weeks (driving). Any advice? I've got the block heater, synthetic oil, new tires, battery warmer. Did I miss anything? Dead Horse is no joke! That's WAY up there

 

Nice, I have this thread going to cover that.

Also, I have a list-of-things to take in a google doc that I will publish before taking off. For your list, I would like to add a extra battery(I plan on pulling my dually batteries out for the journey). I would not be too worried about journey to Fairbank, AK at all. I actually plan on staying in hotels until Fairbanks, AK. The last leg is where I want to venture out and hence all the extra junk in my case.
Good folks from Deadhorse, AK have confirmed that they do not plug in unless it hits -30 and below(Gas engines). So, Fairbanks, AK is relatively a safe bet considering that there is good roads and enough towns in between. Where are you heading from?

 

what are those dashes that you have in front of those temperatures? that does not compute...


and holly hell deakhorse ak is WAYYYYYY the eff up there.

 

I just drove to Waco, TX to spend a little time with family before I leave. It shows to be just under 4k miles from here to Fairbanks

 

Do not worry about those dashes, they are just there for decor.

 

I was really glad to find this thread, I am about to undergo the same install on my 2015 and I will go get that ratchet before I order the heater.

 

Any way to cut the bracket off, maybe with a Dremmel or something like that?

 

I had the stealership install the block heater on my 2015 when I purchased it.

Then I wanted to figure out how long I need to plug the truck in, when it is below -40C outside. Was like this for 2 weeks solid last winter.

In 1 hour it gets from -40C to -25C ish, truck likes starting much better at that temp.

 

Bump...

Anyone know the Toyota part number for the 2015 4.0 block heater? (Tried a google search with no luck.)

 

The one I used is PU140-00913-1. Based on @vijay's experience I couldn't say if it really is correct for 2015 but on my 2008 it was easy peasy.
