Something hanging off side of engine

[Wild Bill 58]

Just got back from the dealer fixing the HPFP on my 2021 Gladiator. So far it seems ok. Had an issue with the AC but it works again this morning. Found this hanging in space that was not there before as I would have seen it. Do you know what it is? Has a small clip on the side of it.....

It looks like the block heater. (would be my guess).

Yes it is the block heater. Back to the dealer. Thanks

There is a well on the side of engine and it just pushes into the well. I believe the clip holds it in so maybe the clip is damaged. Search how to add a block heater. There is a lot of information about this. There is an older style that requires removing a plug. You need to look for the style with the well. I wouldn’t be bring mine to dealer for such an easy fix. The whole heater was around 100.00 the orange plug pulls out and it’s a separate part.

I get where the OP is coming from.

Dealership broke it, dealership can fix it.

I'd REALLY raise a stink that they broke it and didn't inform anyone.

Hi. Its in as you mentioned Chris. I did look through lots of info but did not come across the push in style. I saw the clip but could not find the well for it to fit into. The tech and me crawled under and he showed me the spot where it fell out from. All good now : ). You can see the orange on it.

How did it popped loose when the hpfp is on the opposite side of the engine.
