Kat's Heaters 30517 750W Engine Block Heater for GM Diesel Trucks

The Kat's Heaters 30517 is a 750-watt, 120-volt engine block heater designed specifically for GM diesel pickup trucks and SUVs. This freeze plug heater installs directly into the frost plug hole, providing efficient engine warming in cold weather conditions.

Key Features:

• 750-watt heating element for effective engine warming
• 120-volt AC power connection for standard outlets
• Thermostatically controlled to activate at 0°F (OE standard)
• CSA approved components and final assembly for safety compliance
• Designed for GM diesel engines with compatible frost plug locations
• Reduces cold-start engine wear and extends engine life

Benefits of Engine Block Heating:

Pre-warming your engine with this block heater provides significant advantages in cold climates. Cold starts below 20°F produce 50 to 100 times more greenhouse gas emissions in the first minute compared to pre-warmed engines. By maintaining engine coolant temperature, this heater ensures improved oil flow during startup, reducing wear on critical engine components. You'll also experience easier starting, better fuel economy, and reduced emissions while protecting your diesel engine investment.

How It Works:

This electric engine heater connects to a standard household outlet through your vehicle's grille area. Simply plug it in overnight or several hours before driving to keep the coolant warm and ready. The built-in thermostat automatically manages operation, turning on only when temperatures drop to freezing or below, ensuring energy-efficient operation.
