Up here in northern Wisconsin it can get pretty cold in the winter. I called one of our Jeep stores about a block heater for my truck and they told me it was for the diesel. Our other store said it was available for the 3.6 and the labor was about 2-3 hours. Not too bad at my employee cost and probably worth it on the really cold days.
I found a number of threads on this forum of people talking about how difficult it was just to route the cord on the diesel motor that already has the block heater installed. Has anyone tried installing the block heater on the 3.6L yet? Is it a huge PITA and worth the money to have a technician do it?
I have also looked at aftermarket battery warmers and oil pan heaters on Amazon, but I fear a short circuit or those items getting too hot and melting something or starting something on fire. Anyone have good experiences with these options?
