Questions & Answers

The power cord can it be removed?

There is a swivel on the power cord.

I have a full size Ford 302. Will this fit?

I'm happy to help, but all the KAT's Brand Heaters are engine-specific. Please let us know more specifics about the engine you have so we can provide you with a more accurate response. If I assume what you mean by full size, and hope that the CID given is listed, but it is unlikely, I can let you know. For finding the right heater for an application, here are the details The make (Ford), the number of cylinders and the liters are listed, as well as the year. It would be great to have it that way. I sincerely appreciate your help, I read the ACS book, but I don't understand it

This fits the Gmc s15 from 1989 model. Does it matter?

Thank you for your inquiry. According to the manufacturer, the heater needed for a Chevy/GMC truck engine, a 6 cylinder, a 4 cylinder is listed below. For a heater needed from 1985 to 2005 with a capacity of 3L, use The heater you need fits your application, so yes, this is the one you need. I appreciate your kind words, thank you - I read the ACS book, but I don't understand it

The block heater comes with installation instructions , is that correct?

A copy of the instructions is This installation is a relatively simple process, the biggest challenge is draining the block so you don't work in the wet!

It is correctly sized for the block
3/5

It's my second one - the first one failed after less than a week of use I thought I did something wrong the first time, so I tried again, and verified everything was in order, power supply, fitting, and all that. But There has been no response to my email about this matter, and no record of that email has been retained, so there's no record. Also, Amazon makes it so hard to contact anyone. I have already sent an email about this matter, and have not heard anything back. An Internet casino would be like this If you get stuck inside a building, look for an exit.
So I'm not particularly impressed by the quality of these 'kat' brand block heaters, they should last longer than a week, but I'm not sure it's the case,.

Don't settle for this product, spend the extra few bucks and get a better Buy junk, don't buy it
3/5

The wires were pulled out of the pigtail as soon as I unplugged it for installation. We went ahead and installed the bolt, but the bolt broke. Become aware of There was no sign of the ring. Saved $6 by trying to reduce the price. The shame on me is that I bought it from a store that sold parts. I had it boxed up and ready for UPS to pick up right away. This is a 0 star rating!.

Easily made at a low price! Despite its cheap price, this product was of low quality
3/5

It is not as sturdy and reliable as Kat's Block Heater Plug used to be in days past. I had to return to the hotel.

The block heater you are considering is not worth buying! These do not last
3/5

This is the second one I have installed, and each one lasted around two months before they stopped working.

Installation of cheap bolt led to the bolt being stripped out

While installing the bolt, the cheap one broke out. I have not yet had the opportunity to use it.

I didn't have any leaks due to the perfect fit
5/5

I was able to solve the problem. The engine remains hot despite temperatures well below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

For the money, it's a good buy
5/5

I replaced the exact one I had that lasted about a year with this one. We drained the old diesel and put in the new one, it seems to be working fine so far. I've had no leaks since I got it, and it works for cold starts ups. For 20 or so dollars, you can't go wrong. This will be interesting to see how long it While KATZ is designed to NOT change it every year, it is NOT intended to!.
