Block Heaters
A cylinder block coolant heater can improve the startability and a cylinder block coolant heater can reduce the warm-up time by heating the coolant that surrounds the combustion chambers. A cylinder block coolant heater that is powered by electricity can be activated immediately after the engine is stopped. A cylinder block coolant heater will reduce the temperature that will require ether for starting the engine. An effective block heater is a 1250 watt to 1500 watt unit. Contact your truck dealer for more information.Air Inlet Heaters and Ether Starting Systems
If equipped with an air inlet heater (AIH) for cold weather starting, do not use types of starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in an explosion and injury.
When starting the engine with ether, follow these starting procedure instructions carefully. Use ether sparingly and spray it ONLY WHILE CRANKING THE ENGINE. Excessive ether use can cause piston and ring damage. Ether should be used only for cold weather starting.
As temperatures drop below 0 °C (32 °F), starting a cold engine may require assistance in the form of ether starting aids or air inlet heaters. An automatic metered ether injection system is preferred over a manual system. An automatic system reduces the risk of engine damage by minimizing the operator's responsibility in order to correctly determine the quantity of ether that is required. Excessive ether will damage the engine and excessive ether will void the manufacturer's warranty. An alternative to ether is an air inlet heater. The preheated intake air considerably improves the engine's ability to start at very low temperatures and the preheated intake air ensures smooth engine operation within a shorter period of time.
