Does a 2001 dodge ram 2500 diesel come with block heater?

Not all 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel trucks came with a factory-installed block heater. Whether or not yours has one depends on the specific options selected when the truck was ordered and the climate where it was sold. Trucks sold in colder climates were more likely to have them as optional equipment.

To find out if *your* truck has one, you should:

* Check the owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It should list the options included with your specific vehicle.

* Look for a cord: The block heater cord usually protrudes from the engine block near the front of the engine, often near the oil filter. It'll have a plug on the end.

* Inspect the engine block: You might see a threaded fitting where the heater element would screw in. If it's missing, it likely wasn't installed at the factory.

If you can't find any evidence of a block heater, it's possible to have one installed by a mechanic, though it's usually more costly than ordering it as a factory option.
