Block Heater Makes a Big Difference - 2019-2023 Ram EcoDiesel
A while back I made a video installing the winter front on my 2022 Ram with the 3.0 EcoDiesel engine in it. As well, I showed the routing of the extension cord for the block heater.
This last week I had the opportunity to put it to the test, and this combination kept the truck warm! You can see the block heater kept the truck engine about 59 degrees when it was -15 outside. About a 75 degree spread is pretty impressive. Even after the engine started and coolant was circulating, it was still much warmer than ambient temperature.
The drive to work this day I saw temperatures as low as -18 F but I stayed toasty in the cab. Just wanted to make a short video showing the real world difference. Last year we saw -30 temps. I might make a short showing the difference then if I experience that once again.
Thanks for watching!
