Finding the Engine Block Heater Plug Like Needle in a Haystack

[HearHear]

Took me quite a while to find it! Finally did (I believe it’s the cord on the left with a tag on it):

Interestingly this doesn’t appear to be an option for the 2022 392 models.

Was under my 392 today thinking I would install an engine block heater and I can’t seem to find the location of where the heating element goes in the engine. Any of you fine Jeepers have a photo of where it’s located (not the electrical outlet/socket but the actual heating element)? The technical diagram previously posted didn’t help. Thank you in advance.

I have not looked but looks like on driver side just below the valve cover/head at the back of the block.

Thanks a lot, this helps. Now I just need to shrink my hands and forearms to get in there.

There isn’t much room in there

Curious, is the block heater standard equipment or an option? I don’t recall seeing this when I ordered.

You can’t order it as an option any more. You have to buy the three separate Mopar parts and either install yourself or have a shop install it. It takes over a mile+ for the engine to warm up (~200 degrees F) on a warm day and a couple miles on a cold day. Have had one in my other vehicle for 15 years and works great.
