Block Heater

[redeldo]

Happy Holiday everyone!

I have a quick question. The switches on the dash have one for "Engine Heater" and a separate one for "Block Heater". What are these for and do both need to be on when the temp gets down into the teens here in North Ga?

Thanks

I am just guessing, I have a 99 Monaco and has neither but, the block heater switch should heat the engine. It is easy to check, just turn it on when engine is cold,( from inspection area just touch the head of the engine) after 15-20 minutes you can feel the difference! I would say the engine heater may be for starting when very cold.
I'm sure someone will know for sure!
Good luck
