The part is only $39.95, however labour is $55.00 per hr and it will probably take close to 2 hours to do.

If your wondering what a "block heater" is, only 2% of vehicles have them. Those who live in the frozen north where it's cold and you need to plug in the block heater so your vehicle starts in the morning. We can't go without.

Oh No! :( Gripey had one on a diesel that he had it wouldn't work properly EVER. We replaced that thing so many times..... . I hope it won't take as long as they predict and not cost you so much Cj. :hugz:

I'm sorry CJ!:( We have a block heater in our car too because it's diesel and we get long stretches of -30 below F. I'm sorry you have to pay someone to do this! :hugz:

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Can your DH barter some of us wonderful woodworking skills for the labor? Anyone would be blessed have anything made by him. :)
