My 06 Lib/crd has no block heater and as far as I know it was never part of the Lib/crd family. Maybe you can try for an aftermarket unit.

I found out that Chrysler can reflash the computer with a new extreme cold weather program that will keep the manifold heater on longer.
We're also going to check with Mercedes to see what they have for that block.

The 2.8L diesel in the 2005 Liberty is a VM Motori Italian diesel engine. The cord for the block heater is wadded up and wire-tied to the dipstick tube below the engine cover. It only needs to be plugged in for a couple of hours and the engine starts fine.

My Liberty has a block heater. the engine is actually a Motori eng. made in northern Italy. The co. is owned by Detroit Diesel, I think. Block heater has half the power that my 7.3 has so it will not keep eng warm enough. What speed doest yout liberty shift into its highest gear? Mine at 64mph.
