It can snow in the desert though!

Yes it does.
I do use the block heater here in Phoenix when it's cold and I know I'm going to be driving the truck.

what did that one run you?

why would you yank the grid heater it dont give you that much more power does it?

rdnckhaus, sent you a PM.

94cummins12v,
ON A STOCK TRUCK, The Grid Delete delivered 15-18 lb/ft and about 6HP from 1900-2000rpm, and from 2100-2200 it made 20-25 lb/ft and around 10HP. Power then is about the same as stock through 2500 with another increase around 2650rpm of 9 lb/ft and 5HP over the stock heater grid.

On a heavily modified truck, gains in the 17 HP range have been recorded.

Here's a link to the shop that did the dyno runs if you are interested in reading a little more about it.

One thing I failed to mention in the article, is when starting a vehicle with the HGD in place, do not wait for the pigtail, or "wait to start" light to go out before starting your vehicle. Doing so will throw a code. Just ignore it and crank it up right after putting the key in.

Also, this may be a way of confirming you live in a warm enough climate to keep the HGD on year round. Our winter lows here in Phoenix are usually mid 40's, with a few days of exception, if that helps.

yea i don think ill be doing this,Southern IL gets a little too cold... it was about 6 degrees the other day

As stated before, it may not be the mod for the colder climates...

Grid Heater Delete
 

Can anyone tell me about the #1 injector line rubbing on a grid heater delete block? I've got one on order and am concerned that this will damage the injector line.
Thanks in advance.

Pretty simple story.

First, some manufacturers mill a clearance area out for this.

Install your HGD... DON'T panic!! lol !
If it is touching, or rubbing, carefully pry it away from the HGD block. You only need it NOT to touch! So, don't get carried away...

I used a screwdriver for this.. Primitive, I know, but sometimes, the simple solutions work the best.

Over thinking some stuff serve NO purpose but to tie you up in the Minutia.
