Does anyone have a link to a cummins dealer online???Where I might be able to order one...

 

Plug in your info here:

And see where the closest Cummins shop is to your location.

 

For your info. I picked a cord up today from my local Cummins dealers parts dept. Cost $ 10.32 plus tax. Part in stock. Cummins P/N 251919. Good luck.

 

thanks guys...

 

Today I took my truck to the dealer for warranty work and inquired about the cord for my block heater, the parts guy said $39.99 young man I said no way Jose. Called a Cummins dealer down the road 10 bucks

 

That's pretty good! They quoted me 39 as well, but I got them down to 16 at the dealer. They claimed it to be at about cost. As much as I spend there I figured they could cut me a little break...

 

Do all the 2004.5's have come with the block heater? I am in Calif and not sure if mine has one? If so where is the connectioon located?

 

USMC64-70,

Pop your hood and look at the left side of the block just to the right of the intake tube you'll see a plug with a plastic cap threaded into the block, just unscrew the plastic cap plug in the cord and snake it up to your grill.

 

I bought a plug when I picked up my new truck a few days ago. (1st dodge, 1st diesel) I wasn't sure where to route it so I did one wrap around the intake tube and tucked it in next to the air filter housing (side away from engine). Anyone know where it's routed when it's factory installed?

 

I went to the local Cummins dealer and ordered my cord said it was about $10 and would take about a week...Sure beats the $30 from the Dodge house!!!!

 

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about.

When I bought my truck the sticker had a block heater option of $10.00. Was that the cord or the heater?

I do have a cord and plug already present right behind the grille very close to the passenger side headlight. It has a plastic weather protection cap on it that you pop-off to plug in.

Is there another cord to extend it out even further or is what I have the complete setup?

Thanks...

 

well ya's lucky bought one yesterday. 58.00 from dealer. 46.00 if i had ordered one through cummins (they told me to locate one becuase they are on back order?????)

 

Bought mine at the local diesel shop for $11. Haven't used it yet, though. I haven't taken the time to drag the timer and cord out. The temp has only been down to -7*F and the truck started right up. The grid heaters in these Cummins engines sure beat the glowplugs in the Powerstrokes. My old Ford struggled at any temps below 20*F.

 

I think you must have bought the whole heater and not just the cord!!!

 

I hope that they used a condum.
