I’ve installed plenty of them on big rigs. On my 93 I installed two 1000 cca batteries in the same spot were the one battery was. I run t6 synthetic in the winter. In Maine USA I’ve started my truck in -36f without plugging it in. I just cycle the intake heater 3 times.
It doesn't draw a ton of battery power, but I was thinking about mounting a stand alone battery on the frame dedicated to the webasto and dash cam. It's nice having instant heat though
@@OvensGarage we use them on big rigs all the time. They use way less fuel then the conventional apu’s. I’ve installed the coolant heaters and the forced hot air ones.
That's a pretty sweet set-up, and detailed install. Sure am glad that I'll never need that here in Texas. Just hearing those "-" numbers gave me a chill, and it's 84 degrees outside. I enjoyed watching the process you did, though.
Awesome video Tyler! This was the first install I ever did on my truck. It's intimidating but pretty basic. Nice hat I saw a few times. Wait till you have people asking why you truck is smoking as sounds like a fighter jet! 🤣
The Decent Garage hat has pretty much become my work hat at this point ;) The Webasto is surprisingly louder than I thought it was going to be, gotten a few looks already sitting in some parking lots.
Great video, I think I would have sourced a small fuel tank instead of going to the work of dropping the tank. but no matter. So I understand coolant flows from the heater into the core then out and into the head?
random point. the diesel exhaust is extremely corrosive. Under my van where the exhaust gas touches rusts out very quickly. I would not recommend pointing it at the oil pan
Looks like you have the rear main or tappet cover leak. Oil on drivers side points to tappet cover. Nice install. I've thought of one of these but couldn't justify the expense when I usually have electricity to plug into.
Just remember the fuel supply on those are tiny. It dosen't take much to plug the fuel line. So you need to treat the fuel so there is no gelling. It may be a good idea to insulate the small line. Just something to think about. I have experienced a plugged line on my wabasto and woke up freezing in the middle of the night.
That's a good point. I usually add anti-gel additive every time I fill my fuel tank anyways, but it wouldn't hurt to prevent fuel gelling in other ways.
I used it a bit last winter in Victoria but the temps didn't get that low. I'm in winnipeg now and the temps get very cold here so this winter will be the first real test. I'm thinking about changing the feed line to tee in where the coolant sensor is at the back of the head instead so it cycles the coolant completely from back to front. That's the only thing I would change because it would probably bring the temps up higher in the block.
I did the install on my 91 w-350. It worked fine for a few cycles but now keeps giving me an overheat code and shutting down. I have purged all the air from the system and even installed a flushing T on my heater line to make sure all the air is purged. Anyone have any ideas?
Yep it seems to be working well so far. If it doesn't heat up that well when I experience very cold temps I'll re-plumb the feed to come from the coolant sensor port on the drivers side rear of the engine cyl head

I just re-watched this. Tyler you really are an amazing individual, you really are ! 👍👍👍👍👍

@@OvensGarageI just installed one on my sprinter van but it seems like the pump is not pumping coolant. I filled it before installing. Any thoughts?
Great video. This helped me to understand the Webasto install better on a retired school bus I own 🫡🫡
Glad it helped!

Yes it sure will come in handy! Looking forward to needing it but not looking forward to the cold temperatures 😄
Awesome install. Can't wait to upgrade mine!
Thanks, just bought one and about to do the install
Good luck! You'll love it.

Nice job on the fitting in the tank
Awesome Job, can't wait to do mine this summer. Looking for a follow up on the install.
Cool upgrade
Thanks!

I'll have to take a look. I also spray my truck annually with rust check so that may just be remnants of that oil spray and not a leak.
@@OvensGarage oh. That makes sense. It just looked like regular old oil.
finally got mine for my diesel landcruiser in calgary. Im going to try and install with a separate fuel tank.

@@OvensGarage if you think how easy it is for the fuel to gel in the tank. Imagine that thin tiny little line. Good luck, this unit should do amazing.
Can these heaters be mounted in any position, or is there a specific up and down?
Check the manual online. They have several mounting positions I think the only one you can't do is completely upside down.
How is the install working after 6 Mo anything you would have changed?

Would love a link to that plastic welder Please?
I just updated the description to include the link. I got mine at princess auto. They don't seem to have the butane powered ones on amazon.
Awesome video thank you
what do you think about ebay turbo hx35s??
I wouldn't, I would rather rely on a reputable turbo company who doesn't use cheap knock offs with deceiving measurements.
Why didn’t you take + pin 5 to activate heater fan
I didn't want to draw too much on the battery.
Is there a description for the wiring to connect it to the blower? I want to install thatin a Ford OBS Diesel. Thanks

Nice
Can you get these in the States?
Yes Thermalking is the authorized service/sales/installer.
Why don't you just leave the truck idling over night?
Good thinking
😂😂
I would think having the hottest water in the block coming in as the feed to the heater would not be ideal. Guess it still works!
Yep it seems to be working well so far. If it doesn't heat up that well when I experience very cold temps I'll re-plumb the feed to come from the coolant sensor port on the drivers side rear of the engine cyl head
