123mcquigge Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Well it is the starting of May, and we are still getting chilly temps. I just purchased a 2000 Escalade, and still trying to figure out if it has a block heater and cord. Does the manufacture place depend on this?

Ranger Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 If it has one there should be a plug inside the grill area somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradd Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I too am trying to figure out if my Escalade has a block heater. If not I will be buying an oil pan heater. I went to the suggested site up above, but I really don't want to pay to find this out. Looks like I will be headed to my mechanic so he can put it on his lift and we can look around to see what we can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Fastest way is to look at the RPO build sticker. KO5 is for the factory block heater. Some were dealer installed....those would not be listed on the RPO sticker. Other way is to look at the block....drivers side toward rear end of the V. If the engine is a 8.1L....it is in a different place. Pic shows for 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0L engines.

Bradd Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Bought my '02 used, 6.0 engine. No build sticker to be found. I have a funny feeling one wasn't installed though. Will find out once I can take it to the mechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not to be confused with the window sticker.... Every GM vehicle has a RPO sticker. It shows all the option and color codes specific to that vehicle VIN #. They used to be on metal plates riveted to the car body eons ago...Not sure when they went to stickers. I think some GM trucks had stickers as far back as the late 60's. I think on the Escalade it is on the inside of the glove box door. The factory block heater option code is KO5.

Bradd Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 That is very helpful, thank you! Is there a web site that lists all of the options on the RPO sticker by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
