Interested. Is it OEM or aftermarket?

I just realized that turning the heat to red in the car will engage the water pump, increasing flow. I may experiment with operating the oem pump without the electric heater on. Also I didn't even consider the possibility the heater tank could be uninsulated. So a couple of potential...

As far as I know, there is no "valve" on the heater core. So turning to red shouldn't be required. I have no check valve either. Simply cut the factory hose and ran it in/out the diesel heater. So now when using the electric heater, the coolant flows through the diesel heater as part of the...

If it were closer........ But then I just bought a 1st gen Honda Insight for my ICE long ranger. Wife would kill me for certain!

I have found that the heat output is less than I had expected. Well actually its exactly what I initially expected, but after reading some posts I thought it would be more. Its rated at 5kw. Which is the same as the electric heater, no? So my initial thoughts were that it was going to be...

On a different page of the site it says "runs and drives. Drive it home today"

Ok, great info, thank you. I have managed to fit 4L tank without any fuss. At my current commute, that's roughly a weeks worth of heat. The new commute will be about 3 days of heat. So a bit of a bummer but not terrible I guess. Maybe next year fab something up for a rear tank.

Did you get this sorted out? That's the panel I was considering getting, but maybe not??

Anyone using a heater have comments on actual fuel usage?

I called my local Mits dealer here in Canada. Charger is still ~$4300cad. If the reduced cost charger is available in the US, I would probably buy one. Then if mine blows, I can install the new one and repair the old on a relaxed schedule without any real loss of use of the vehicle.

I see your ad and I have a couple of comments.... 1 - if someone offers you anywhere near your asking price and you say no, send them my way, I'll sell mine in a blink and just go buy 2 or 3 more. 2 - I'm in Duncan bc right now. I have seen more EV's here in one day than my entire life...

Well, and that's what I was wondering. I thought I read somewhere it heats the water to 80 degrees C and then drops to low. Not sure what temp it kicks back in at. On mine there is no option to manually run it on low. Its on or off and that's it. Well it has a pump-only mode for circulating...

Now that my heater has arrived, I have been contemplating fuel tanks. For convenience I would like the absolute largest tank I can fit. For those of you running a fuel heater, how big is your tank and where did you put it? I have seen the video where the tank is just zip tied under the...

I would be interested. How many times did you cycle the def on and off during logging? The guys I talk to in the can world like to see it repeated 5x on the log to help them parse it out. On the flip side, remote start also works while plugged in and climate control will come on to...

Check that the instrument cluster dimmer is turned up?
