Yes they just cut hose and installed heater. When i look at the setup now i probably could have installed it myself seeing the dealer more than covered there labor time on the bill.Shane, Did the mechanic cut the radiator hose in two, for the heater install? Or did the heater "kit" come with two new hoses?
Good to know...yes will have to get in the habit of plugging in at night, not sure how long i would have to plug this unit in for? i guess it would depend how cold it is at night.Works quite well, IF I remember to plug it in.
Did it come with any instructions, an owner/operator manual, perhaps?Good to know...yes will have to get in the habit of plugging in at night, not sure how long i would have to plug this unit in for? i guess it would depend how cold it is at night.
No instructions/operation they never gave me anything.Did it come with any instructions, an owner/operator manual, perhaps?
No steering wheel buttons...wish i had a temp gauge.If you don't have steering wheel buttons, you may not be able to see your coolant temp (don't recall).
I do actually for fun i will do some temp readings along with a time unit was running.If that's the case, do you have an infra-red thermometer?

When it was -15C I left it on 24/7. I also stuffed a bunch of fibreglass insulation all around it to retain what heat it made. On the tractor, it was exposed to the elements. On your Sprinter, it'll be under the hood: better....yes will have to get in the habit of plugging in at night, not sure how long i would have to plug this unit in for? i guess it would depend how cold it is at night.
I been tempted to get one.Get a ScanGuage. You'll get coolant temp and lots more.
Thanks for the honesty...all else fails i will slap the wolverine oil pan heater onI must admit, I wasn't amazed at how much heat it made, nor how well the coolant circulated as a result of that heat.
I will let you know...Shane, If you send me your address, I'll make something up for ya.
That's WAY bigger than mine, I think. The unit looks the same size, but yours is higher wattage. Winter's coming!I checked the current draw 5.0 amps at 125vac = 625 watts
