Has anyone installed an engine block heater, factory part, but after they bought the vehicle, not a factory installed option. I moved from California to a snowy cold climate and want to install one of these. I have done the research on parts and installation in the manuals and online. When I went to look at my Cherokee, it will not be an easy install. It has to be installed, according to the instructions, in the rear most, toward the firewall, freeze plug. This means little to no access without a bit of disassembly of other things, header/exhaust and things in that area. Anyone have a thought on installing it in a more easily accessable freeze plug, not the one in the far back? What could be the issues with putting it somewhere else other where specified?
Thank you.
I have a 1996 Cherokee, 4.0, AW4, NP-231
My buddy, who is in the same situation, has a 1993 Grand Cherokee 4.0, Auto, NP-242 and a 1993 Cherokee, 4.0, 5 spd., Atlas II.
Would there be a difference in which vehicle it would work for answering the questions above?
