Hi everyone. This winter I'm planning to install the "Eberspacher Hydronic II D5S 12V heater", what is a coolant heater actually. It's easy to install. It's heats your coolant so engine is warm in morning, so no cold starts. You can put ignition on and use truck own vents to stay warm. My friend has it, he says it keeps him warm up to 10 degrees, below 10 he keeps engine running. Price is @700-800$, plus 250$ for complete assemble kit. If in addition you can add up to one week timer it's @1050$, also they have for $1150 GSM controller, what allows you to control your heater from any place using your smartphone. Best solution I found for that money. I'll be ordering through heatso.com
They have just air heaters as well, they little chipper - starts from 700$ with assemble kit included -

Your post brought back memories of a job I did in San Francisco years ago, we were vibrating pilings into the ground and this antique shp owner came running out to us with huge horse tears that the ancient antiques she had on her shelves were falling off. She begged us to stop til she could get everything on the floor wrapped in earthquake blankets.Rusty Trawler and KillingTime Thank this.
