any pics of fuel heater on 809's?

Hmm...can't see the oil pan shroud.

Custom made my battery heater since chances of find one for the m656/xm757 is nearly zero (the coolant connections are both to the side).
When using the heater, consider putting a time limit on it. The batteries could get pretty hot and 75-80°F is ideal. The coolant will get them way beyond that, I'm sure.

some more install pics from today.

BTW bjorn I noticed in the instructions today that it says to shutoff the coolant heater valves on the engine in warm climate to keep from overheating the batteries.

no one person had everything. I've been finding/buying pieces for a long long time to put together an entire kit.

I've never seen the lower arctic batt box or heater plate, not even on the museum truck I found. I also have a full set of cab insulation pads for the cab, but I'm not sure I'll ever install them.

you can see the lower heater plate installed in the lower insulated battery box.
