Have any of you installed a block heater on your CUCV? how well does it work and what brand did you go with?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I dont own the truck yet but when we have -50° temps it is definitely neededI would fix the truck if it does not start under 20F.
Never had an issues starting... Was a little iffy at -15F but... 15w40 too.
Being in minnesota, I can't see one being a bad plan you guys get some colddd temps.
Use 5w40 too.
Post #2 of this thread will give you plenty of info.Do you remember what brand you used?
Thanks, and I agree about fixing it, but for now it is on the back burner, I am involved in doing a frame up restoration of my M35a2, but due to life's curve balls constantly taking up all my time it is taking forever. For now the M1009 is just sitting on the property, I do start it every now and then but my focus is to finish the Deuce. I am thinking it's either the injector pump or maybe the starter is warn out and not spinning fast enough, have not replaced the starter yet. My truck is totally stock. Runs great after it gets started. Replaced everything fuel related from inside the tank to the injectors all hoses included and the glow plug system works like it should.I would fix the truck if it does not start under 20F.

What make and model? Does it pump the coolant or is it convection only? Where did you mount it?I use a recirculating water pump heater into the heater circuit, it moves coolant around and gets to everything.
For the pump style block heaters look up KATs brand. Good luck!What make and model? Does it pump the coolant or is it convection only? Where did you mount it?
