    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.

    7.3 IDI intake heater...this weekends project

    It is a turbo 7.3 the turbo is made by an almost unheard of company called CTS (canadian turbo systems) i think i have pics in my gallery. Im sure this could be done to other turbo systems as well as non turbo trucks. I mesaured and the glowplug intake heater deal is 7" from the intake on the...

The only thing i can think of is this new starter is from an automatic and my...
