    F350 Diesel Block Heater Location
    I have a 2005 F350 6 liter diesel. Can anyone tell me where to locate the block heater? I have checked everywhere around the motor to no avail.

    Depending upon where you live, Ford may not have installed one on your truck.

    Synthetic HDEO May Help:

    Use a full-synthetic diesel heavy duty engine oil (HDEO). Installing a by-pass oil filter makes using top-quality synthetics very cost-effective, when integrated with a used oil analysis (UOA) program. All engines run better on synthetics, particularly turbo diesels. Besides significantly improved engine life, turbo life, performance, and gas mileage, synthetics promote easier starting, by allowing increased cranking speed. This last factor is particularly important in cold weather. Synthetics are also easier on batteries and starter motors. Excellent choices are:

    Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40

    Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40

    Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-40

    Amsoil 5W-40: http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/deo.aspx
