Notes:
Start your engine easier and warm your cab faster in cold weather with this frost-plug-style engine block heater. Heating your engine coolant keeps it from thickening and freezing, resulting in more reliable start-ups and smoother operation altogether. It also lessens the workload and extends the life of your vehicle's battery. And because starting your engine when it's warm creates less condensation in the engine block than starting it when it's cold, your engine will get better initial fuel vaporization, which causes fewer emissions and less pollution.
This frost-plug heater replaces the core plug in your engine block. The power cord on the heater is removable so that you won't need to buy a whole new heater if the cord gets damaged. The cord can be routed through your grille for easy access to a 120-volt outlet or extension cord. If needed, a longer or shorter cord (sold separately) can be purchased to better fit your application. Make sure the heating element is fully submerged in the coolant before plugging it in.

This frost-plug heater replaces the frost plug in your engine block and submerges in the coolant to keep engine fluids from thickening. Results in easier start-ups, faster heating of your cab, and less wear and tear on your vehicle in cold weather.I bought this because it is advertised as a fit for the 2015 Nissan Rogue. When I took it to my Nissan dealership service center, and they attempted to install it, they said it is not the correct size for all 2015 Nissan Rogues because at some point there had an engine block revision that changed the size of the engine block service ports. Thus, the product information on etrailer.com is incorrect, or at the least, misleading. Installation of this item is not an easy task, so to expect the average car owner to disassemble down to the engine block to measure the service port to ensure a correct fit prior to purchase seems extremely unreasonable. When I called to do a return, I was told that because it fits some 2015 Rogues, I could return it, but I would have to pay the return shipping. I got the impression from the person on the phone that she was implying that it is somehow Nissan’s fault, since they revised the engine block. This is also after I had to pay labor for Nissan to attempt to install it without success. When all said and done, I’ll have lost money on this transaction, even if I didn’t have to pay the return shipping. It would just be a slightly smaller hit to the wallet if I didn’t . Poor customer service, etrailer.com. First and last time customer. Buyer beware!
This item was backordered everywhere. Kurt totally helped me out. I had limited time to get this and install it before my daughter went back to Montana. I really appreciate the help and the fact that etrailer had this in stock. Excellent service!!!!
Fits perfectly on Nissan NV3500 SL. Had local mechanic do the install so they could properly bleed/burp coolant system after installing unit and refilling coolant. Wrapped cord with semi-rigid cord protector. As good as OEM, which is no longer available from Nissan. Starts heating immediately when plugged in. Be sure to unplug before starting engine.
If you own a Nissan Titan and live in sub-zero weather, this is the block heater you need. Shipped very fast from etrailer.com, and the price was great!
Just what we needed! Fast and efficient! We will certainly be using etrailer.com again!
Great product and has worked flawlessly.
Customer is happy and shop owner is happy.
Good job E-trailer.
I had the Nissan Dealer install the plug and it has worked great since. I put the plug on a timer switch that turns on at 5 am and turns off at 8 am. This has given enough time for the engine block to heat up before we leave in the morning and I hope provide better and faster oil flow to the engine on those cold mornings.
Did not fit for my 2018 Rogue - apparently some of those motors do not allow for a plug
I needed a frost plug core heater for my tractor. The one I bought did not have my tractor as an application. Just autos and trucks. The measurements were exactly what I needed as well as the wattage. I called a rep to confirm that the measurements were accurate and took a chance and bought it. Exact fit, easy install and happy customer! Thanks Phillip for your help. I highly recommend e-trailer for parts, supplies and great customer service.
This review is for block heater KH11461 installed in a Mahindra 5010 with the 49 hp Daedong engine, after one year. This block heater came with the tapered bushing to fit in a 1 1/4" frost plug hole next to the starter. Tap out the frost plug (screwdriver, hammer) Tap in bushing (hammer piece of wood and sleeve retainer from NAPA). Screw in the block heater. Fill with antifreeze and run the engine to ensure there is no air in the cooling system to prevent burning out the heater. I also added a battery heater and trickle charger all on 1 cord permanently mounted under the hood. This now starts well below zero easily. etrailer has a video of this product.
They were all JUNK! Every single one failed on its 1st or 2nd use! Total crap!
Shipping a bit slow. Product traveled to East coast then to central Canada. I suspected in would be shipped straight North to Canada?
2nd order from etrailer. fast shipping. as advertised
Installed it on a compact tractor. Heat very fast
Fast delivery, easy check out
excellent for farm tractors; use on perkins diesels ,and simpson diesels; just installed and is working fine! a good one should last 20 years; the one I replaced (for a tractor from a tractor supply house lasted less than 2 YEARS, the one before had gone the 20 years) your block heater has a heavy duty cord and the threaded cuff lock down nut on the sender was an all time first for me, thanks. To use this kit 11409 your must already have the block bushing or the bushing for a block heater for this kit will be # 11461b and about $7.00. Noticed your were in SPRINGFIELD TN; I farm in Tn and Ky. good for you. thanks again. TERRY FITZPATRICK, Austin, Ky
The part did not fit, even though listed as it did. The cost to return was the same price as the part. Total rip-off will not do business again.
I am very satisfied. I had looked for awhile for this size and let me tell you, This company communicates and keeps you informed of your purchas and shipping. I installed this in a 1986 Massey Ferguson 3cyl diesel. No one else carries this size that I could find. I will buy from again.
I just received this block heater today and have not installed it yet but it looks real simple. etrailer.com was a great price and fast shipping
This part came and I was not told it was repackaged and sold as new. When I went to install it the wrench marks and thread marks were off. I tested it and could not find continuity so it was broken inside. Alas, when I reached out I was told it was too far out of date to ask for a new one. Granted it was a month or two after.
Heater is good but it didn't fit in the frost plug hole that had the existing heater in. This replacement had a longer element and it touched the inside of block no matter what angle i turned it and would not seal properly. I think if it was in one of the other frost plugs maybe it would work? I have ordered many other block heaters from here with no issues. Like I said prob fits in different frost plug location so beware have a plan b ready. Hard to give bad review at these prices
Haven't installed this block heater yet, as it just came yesterday. It looks to be of great quality however, and I have a Kat's block heater in another vehicle that has worked great for years. I anticipate this one will as well.
