I know I'm hijacking the thread to some extent but,.......on a 5075E does anyone know the cost of a dealer added block heater, and an extra set of remotes?

Note sure on the block heater. We don't need them down here in Texas, ha!

I paid $733.70 for the dealer to install my 2nd rear SCV.

Here's how they did the install, and the controls... Very clean!

True. And it does get cold here a few weeks per year in East TX. Not cold enough for me to want to pay for a block heater, I guess.

Also, "cold" in TX = below 45. :laughing:

It was 0 or below 3 days this week, wind chill -25 there one time, I may need a block heater.

I think the dealer installed block heater on my 4720 was about 150 bucks for parts and labor. I wouldn't worry about hijacking this thread...it's toast.
