Installing a Block Heater in a Turbo PTC
I live in Canada, recently bought a 2007 PTC Turbo 2.4 litre. I have to install a block heater. I will take it to a garage to have installed but wondering if anyone has any comments / suggestions.
I am installing command start as well. When the windchill is -50 degrees, we need help starting our cars. After having the car checked at a local Chrysler dealership, a ridge is wearing on the rotors and a front control arm bushing needs replacing plus rear bushings are loose. With this car being only 2 years old, should I be finding these type of repairs???

Re: Installing a Block Heater in a Turbo PTC
I thought a block heater was a factory option - that would be the way to go.
Ridge in a rotor? So what? I always find ridges in rotors - first application of brakes and the brake pad will conform. A suggestion is to replace bushings with polyurethane - they are much better.

Re: Installing a Block Heater in a Turbo PTC
Where she is from she needs it..
Mopar does have one in the options list.. Strange to see a Canadian spec car not have one.. All the cars my honey has ever driven have had it.. And he's from Vancouver!
