What is the general consensus on the diesel fired coolant heaters? I have a nice 803 with what looks to be a brand new heater in it.
Here in the North East, engine coolant heating isn't really necessary. I've started liquid cooled's down into the -5F with no issues and it rarely gets much colder than that here, so I'm considering removing it and selling it.
My question is: Is there a market for them, or are the electric heaters what you colder climate guys leaning towards?
I like the idea of flipping the switch and using the diesel unit only when you need to start it in sub-zero outage, rather than needing to leave it plugged in "just in case" the power goes out. But I know they are pricey and wonder if there is a market for them or not?
Any thoughts?
