7.3 IDI intake heater...this weekends project
My truck will start with just the glow plugs and no block heater in -25c but it does take a bit of cranking. With this intake heater the start is almost instant in -40c it hasent gotten any colder yet. I cant wait to try it out in -50c i bet it takes just a few cranks.- 86SCLB
