However: based on principals of thermodynamics the lower rad hose heater is technically inferior to the, better placed, freeze plug heater due to the theory that a majority of your heat will be "radiated" out of the radiator. The lower hose heater is well liked by our brothers in the Canadian north (the closest thing we have to Mongolia :ylsmoke: ) due to ease of install and reports of effectiveness. And if you have a turbo, the installation becomes very complicated. But, there have been numerous reports that all available freeze plug heaters for the HZ engine, pop out. The main debate seems to come down to using the heater I described above, or a traditional freeze plug block heater. There are also, stick on oil pan heaters, battery blankets, fuel filter blankets, in-line fuel heaters and a host of other contraptions. This kind of heater you cut a small section out of the lower rad hose, insert this flow through heater and seal it back up. ![]() I currently have a lower radiator hose heater on the way. I do not have any experience, but I have done a lot of research on engine heaters for the HZ, good timing.
