I’ve run truck lite in couple of my trucks. Half the price. Can’t say it’s any better or worse than jw as I haven’t used them
But they work great.

I used the Trucklites 5x7s before (the latest versions) they are very nice indeed, bang for the buck.

-4f (-20c) here this morning...the single Group 31 battery at 1150cca starts the old girl with a single cycle of the grids...
If I run the Webasto for 20 minutes at around 0f, the grids don't even cycle.

Only cold start stuff is the block heater.. no grids in this 8.3. Do have either as last resort.. jumped it and it fired up and idled smoothly

Ah, gotcha.
The only reason I installed a Webasto is that I don't have an electrical outlet most of the time...

Wonder if a set of grids from a QSC would fit that thing?

I didn’t even think about you. I just sold a brand new Wabesto coolant heater, never installed for $450.

Running synthetic oil? If mines not plugged in anything under -5 Celcious I won’t touch it. Nor will I spray it with either. A good block and oil Heater in cold temps with no wind might need an hour or two to get warm. An espar will warm the coolant up fast crappy that it don’t do oil as well but running synthetic helps.

Is the intake horn the same bolt pattern as a 5.9? Wouldn't be hard to add a grid heater someone else removed.

No, not exactly. 12v 8.3's never had grids, but the newer electronic versions did.

 . A pleasant -24c here, with wind chill making it -35c or so.
Time to get the snowshoes & 6.5 Creedmoor out again and go for a walk in the back fields & glass some illegal 4 legged desert immigrants.
