why do you need a blocker heater i GA? i know dealers on the northern border will install them but they are not a titan option.

 

IM PCSing to alaska this January and i have gotton the part number for it thanks to fellow members but nissan here in the states wants 200 dollors plus labor to install and in canada they have it for 55 dollors. call me cheap but id rather pay 55

 

if it's $55 Canadian that's like $1.50 american right? LOL

 

I also PCS'd to the Great White North and need a block heater. Anyone have that part number so I can track it down?

 

I don't have the P/N for the heaters but live on Eielson AFB. Most folks have the base Service Station winterize their vehicles with heating pads that are siliconed on the oil pan, tranny and placed under the batteries. My Titan came winterized from the dealer but our Frontier was winterized this way and always started even when kept outside at -40. Luckily your temps wont go down this far but having the heater pads installed is the way to go.

My recommedation is to make an appointment at the Service Station as soon as you arrive and have it done there.

A bigger issue is to ensure ALL your vehicle fluids are winterized. The oil, tranny, brake and power steering fluids should all be synthetic. A Titan on base lost it's power steering pump to frozen fluid and the result was not good.

 

Even though it only goes down to the single digits here occasionally in the winter time, I wouldn't mind having a black heater just because cold starts are so hard on engines. I have a 4 banger Toyota that has piston slap when it gets down into the teens. Its a common thing with that engine, but its still a bit alarming to hear!
