Engine block heater, keep the balt warmer!
For sale I have another GM block heater and cord. These items are sold separately at dealers for a total of around $140 ish.
Asking $65 shipped to the lower 48
All mounting hardware is included and it works. Extremely easy to install!! Just bolts to the outside of the block.
*NOTE*** This cord has a built in thermostat and will not operate the heater unless the outside temp is 0 ˚. GM designed it this way so the car won't throw CEL codes with cold starts.
As for fitment I only know for a fact that it fits a 2.2 engine. I'm guessing it fits all models of cobalts but I can't confirm that right now. It bolts on just below and to the passenger side of the exhaust manifold. Can be installed from above or below with ease.
showing GM part number
I will take PM's in the order i receive them.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Pics of it installed below
In this pic, it is from under the car looking up at the heater. It is only partially visible. The heater and wire harness circled in green. The red circle is the single bolt that holds it on up against the engine block. Red arrows are referencing the exhaust manifold and pipe.
This pic is the top view of what you can see of the heater. Between the firewall and engine circled in green is part of the heater and wire harness. one yellow arrow referencing exhaust pipe and the other one the valve cover.
Final pic shows routing of the wire harness. It has all hardware needed to mount it. Green is showing the harness. It then routes out next to the passenger headlight on the grille. Yellow circle closest to firewall is a tab that uses the air box bolt to mount it. next yellow circle shows a clip that connects to the fender lip. The two yellow circles out on the grille are holes that are for two push in retainers to hold the harness in place. I do not use those on my car. I tuck the harness down behind the headlight to keep things looking nice and just pull it out when needed.

Correct. That is a lame feature of the cord GM uses. You could cut the end off that has the thermostat built in and put a new plug end on it but then you risk throwing CEL codes.

I'm not 100% positive it will throw a code. That's what I've heard from GM. If your coolant temp is too warm compared to air temp it can set CEL codes.
And it is 0 degrees f no doubt. Says right on the tag on the power cord. Plus I know from experience because I have one in my car.
