The pad was super easy to install, simply placed it below the battery and routed the cord, which you’d need to do on a blanket as well. Here’s the one I bought, specifically cause it had the longest cord length so I could put it out front of the grill through my Winter Front heather opening...
Fair enough.
I’ll be installing a Pre-Heater on mine later this fall as I’m often starting my truck in the early morning hours during the Canadian Winters where I’m sometimes unable to plug my block heater and battery pad in overnight while being away for work as a mobile crane operator.
As for...
The type of coolant pre-heater I’m talking about is for diesel engines and runs off of the fuel in your tank. It will have your engine coolant at close to operating temperature the moment you start it and actually heats the entire engine as the heat transfers through the coolant quickly once...
if you live in a cold climate (I'm in Alberta Canada) I would install a coolant pre heater. I have a heating pad installed underneath my battery and the OEM block heater as well.
I just had this custom-made slip tank for my truck built and installed in the back for my diesel. it has a gravity valve in it that allows it to fill up while you’re driving and it’s tied into my auxiliary three switch so it will not work when the truck is turned off. I’m just filling my tank...
I am just getting a custom made Diesel Sliptank with a Gravity fill switch installed today! The tank will end up being approximately 120L of extra fuel, almost two full tanks. Towing my Camper trailer, I’m hoping to extend the range from approximately 400 Kms to over 1,150 Kms. I pick it up...
Some interesting conversation here guys.
The last comment mentioned Tractor Trailer and I’d like to add that commercial vehicle air suspension system rarely have issues with bags blowing. Not to say it doesn’t happen, but those systems go through millions of miles with heavy loads throughout...
I have Teraflex DeltaForce Kit and love it. I was able to stop on a highway going 110 kph when the vehicles in front rammed on the brakes. I was following at a decent distance and also have trailer brakes with controller. However I stopped in a lot shorter distance then I expected by like 4-5...
Some food for thought!
I was running 37’s on my old Gaser and went 5.13’s and towed my trailer weighing 5,200 dry and blew up my rear end on a trip to a family reunion, limping into the campground. If you’re towing, 4.88 would be the better choice. When I upgraded the gears, towing wasn’t...
I heard back immediately from T&S and they say the parts are two to three weeks out at this time. I’m going to go with them as they seem to be the only one that’s solved the sensor error code issue in all the research I’ve done. Each to their own too, whether you want this mode or not. Burning...
