Does Block Heater Install for 2007 Dodge Caliber Require Draining Coolant
Updated 01/30/2019 | Published 01/29/2019
Question:
I have a 2007 dodge caliber sxt 2.0L where would the KH11812 fit into the engine? Does it go in a frost plug? If it just goes in an opening how does it submerge in coolant? Does the coolant need to be drained for this installation? Please help! Thank you.

For your 2007 Dodge Caliber with a 2.0 liter engine the Kat's Heater # KH11812 is a confirmed fit. It actually installs in a cartridge on the engine block so you would not have to drain any coolant or anything. It does not directly contact the coolant in any way. Essentially it heats an area of the block that is very close to a water jacket which then warms the coolant.
The cartridge it installs in is in the front left position which is on the driver's of the block right in the middle according to Kat's.
