Most Popular Cartridge Style for 2017 Ford Edge

Install was a little tricky given the location for my vehicle 2012 F150. But other than that pretty straight forward. Packaging was good and product seems well put together. Only time will tell if it works well. I'm not in the cold climate yet. It also does come with the 3 prong as advertised.

Product is fine but, the installation instructions are terrible. Even contacting the manufacturer for the mounting instructions, terrible. Found the mounting place on YouTube. What's up with this?

2014 Dodge Ram 5.7L uses Kat’s 11816 cartridge heater. Perfect fit. Must remove the two starter bolts and slide it out of the way. Don’t disconnect starter wires. Just slide starter out of the way. Easily done with truck on ramps. Clean out hole. Find a correct size retaining screw. Not sure what size or If hole is threaded. Too much rust. Just be able to jam some screw in there to retain the cartridge, until silicone dries. Smear about an inch wide layer of high temp silicone around the base of the cartridge. Insert cartridge, twist back and forth to spread silicone, and hold in place with retaining screw. Route wire straight forward. I used 1 1/8” spade bit to drill a hole in black plastic in bumper, but my bumper was already messed up, so I didn’t care much. Plug hangs out grill about 3”. Use zip ties to secure cord to square tubing frame post inside bumper.

I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. The heater element was easy to install. It took a while to find the hole in the engine block (behind the starter motor) but it was a perfect fit. The engine oil is warm enough in a couple of hours for easy starting in cold weather.

Bon achat, j'ai fait l'installation moi même sur un corolla 2016, j'ai nettoyer le trou et j'ai ajouter de la pâte Heat sink compound et j'ai placer le Kat's Heater avec le câble électrique qui était juste assez long pour sortir de la grille. Je l'ai essayer pendant 35 minutes à -17C et il a donner de bon résultat. Cet hivers je vais travailler plus au nord ou il y aura des -40 C et je pourrai vraiment faire un bon test pour voir si il est vraiment efficace. je ferai un autre commentaire pour le verdict.
