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.
Oh nice it warmed up.

Based on the 2 engines I have here, if the bolt holes will line up on the head, you should be good. Injector lines I believe stay high enough to clear the connections on the grids.
I have one here if you want to try it sometime, or at least measure. All our QSC's had them.

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

Low idle slobber. We see it a lot where guys think its oil but its fuel and soot.
Do you have a winter front?
It will still help with slobber. Also helps with keeping the blowby tube clear.No. Truck stays up to temp though.

That's about where I run mine at too. Watch the egts, try to stay above 300°.Mine doesn't slobber from the blowby but i get bluish white smoke and burnt oil smell when I take off the next morning. Even with winter front it was dropping down to 150* engine temp at -10. I run it at 900rpm.
