    Default New to POG Looking for block heater plug on Detroit 60 Series

    Can someone tell me where the engine block heater plug is on my 2000 CC Detroit 60 series?
    I have been around for a while but this is my first post. Haven't learned how to put a picture of my coach yet.
    Thanks,

    Mine was zip-tied to a wiring harness above engine bay doors. Close to 120v outlet in engine compartment.

    Hey All,

    I have a block heater on my breaker panel, which I do not use. Am I correct that my Aquahot keeps the engine warm? Or should I also use the block heater?

    Thanks

    David 2 different ways to accomplish same thing. Detroit block heater is electric and from what I've read on here takes 4-5 hours to warm coolant up much. If AquaHot is similar to Webasto then the diesel fired coolant heater takes about 45 min, again based on what I've read here.

    Hey Billy,

    Yes Aquahot has a Webasto as the heater...In the winter I leave the Aquahot to heat the coach and bays on all the time..Can anyone confirm that I don't need to leave block heater on?

    Thanks
