Does my grid heater look better?

Is that grid heater even needed? I've never seen any other engine with one of these in it at all..
I know when mine turns on when I first start the truck.. battery voltage and headlights drop for a few seconds up to a min, then when it turns off... back up they go.....
Screwy stuff they put on these 6.7's

Not Really
It depends on how cold it gets where your truck sits overnight and how much cranking you mind doing to get it started. I ran my 1st Gen without the grids for 2 years and had no real issues. The only problems were it took a few more revs on the starter to fire below around 40 degrees and much below freezing took a shot of ether to get it running without what I considered excessive cranking.
It always started, no matter what, even down to zero with no ether. But I had a good battery, too.
The grids heaters we re-installed last fall. Been there, done that, don't advise it if you live in a cold climate.
