can anyone tell me how to change the block heater in my 99 7.3 powerstroke, any advice would be apriciated.

 

See the orange/red plug coming out just above the oil filter... That is your block heater element...

Remove, and replace.

 

sorry im blind i cant find what your talking about in the pic

 

Red arrow is the block heater element...

Blue line is the block heater cord...

 

I installed a KATS circulation heater in both my 00 and 01 and loved em cause you would hear them kick in after you plugged in and stood there a few seconds plus they worked super.

 

thanks for yalls help got it fixed just had o rewire it.

 

where did you get the KATS heater? I need to add something to my 01

 

my block heater finally took a dump on me to. so my question is do u have to drain any fluids to get this done

 

The coolant will drain out of the hole. If your quick you might only loose a gallon. Are you sure its the element? they very rarely go out.

 

not 100% yet. i did a visual check and didnt see any marks on the wire. tomorrow im gunna double check it. other than visual checks what do u recommend. i know ive got power to through the extension cord (its the fancy one with the light up end).
