OEM-Quality Aftermarket Cummins Block Heaters

Cold weather can make starting every engine a challenge, especially for powerful Cummins diesel engines. A Cummins block heater warms the coolant and engine block before startup — helping your truck, generator, or construction equipment start smoothly, burn fuel efficiently, and last longer.

Cummins Block Heater vs. Universal Block Heater

While a standard block heater may fit many engines, Cummins block heaters are engineered for exact cylinder head ports and coolant flow patterns found in Cummins 4B, 6B, ISB, and QSB series engines.

Tip: Always choose a Cummins‑specific model to ensure proper thread size, heating power, and seal integrity — universal types may not fit or heat evenly.

How to Choose the Right Cummins Block Heater

Getting the correct heater ensures your engine warms evenly, starts instantly, and avoids unnecessary wear.

1. Identify by OEM Part Number

Look for stamped numbers on your old heater (e.g., 3500022, 3975628, 250647, 3906389) or check your service manual.→ Search the number directly on FridayParts.com for exact matches.

2. Check Engine Model & Size

  • 4B & 6B Cummins: typically 3/4' NPT threads, 400–750 W
  • ISB / QSB / QSL Series: usually 1' NPT or M22 x 1.5 threads, 1000–1500 W
  • Generators & Heavy Equipment: may require 1800–2000 W Hotstart‑type heaters

3. Verify Voltage & Thread Type

Most truck and equipment models use 120 V heaters, while export or industrial units may need 240 V versions. Measure the port diameter or confirm from OEM specs.

4. Select Between Kit or Heater Only

  • Kit: includes heater, cord, plug, and seal — ideal for fresh installation.
  • Heater Only: for direct replacement when wiring already exists.

5. Consider the Climate

  • Mild to cold: 400 – 750 W units work well.
  • Below −20 °C (−4 °F): 1000 – 1500 W recommended.
  • Extreme conditions or standby equipment: 1800 W+ pre‑heater ensures rapid warm‑up.
