Features to know about

Faster, Smoother Cold Starts

On icy mornings, even the toughest engine can crank slow and sound weak. Cold metal parts grind dry, and thick oil makes your starter work overtime. This Zerostart block heater pre-warms the coolant so your engine turns over quick, runs smoother right away, and avoids the wear that shortens engine life.

Engine-Specific Fit

Universal heaters can be a headache because they often require slight modification, but this one is made for your vehicle's engine. It installs in the frost plug, the exact spot designed for heat transfer. That means no trial and error or modifying parts to fit, just a clean install that works the way it should.

Engine is Ready When You Are

Rated at 400 watts at 120 volts, this heater delivers steady warmth through your coolant. That extra heat not only makes starts more reliable, it also helps your engine reach operating temperature faster so you can hit the road without a long idle.

Video Transcript for Review of Zerostart Vehicle Heaters - Custom Fit Frost Plug Style Engine Block Heater - ZE78VR

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a quick look at this zero start custom fit frost plug style engine block heater. Now this part is going to fit a wide range of GM vehicles, including select Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Suzu, and Pontiac models, typically equipped with four, five, six or eight cylinder gas engines from the early 2000s through the mid 2020s, such as the Silverado Sierra pickups, the Tahoe, Suburban, SUVs, the Camaro and Corvette performance cars and midsize sedans, and crossovers like your Malibu's, Equinox and Acadia. All that to say, it's vital that you use our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com, since this fits a wide range of vehicles. So on our vehicle fit guide, all you have to do is select the year, make and model of your particular vehicle, answer any other questions that it might ask you, and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

Now, cold mornings don't have to slow you down. With this custom fit block heater, you can say goodbye to sluggish starts and long warmups. This is gonna preheat your engine's coolant so your vehicle fires up smoothly and reaches operating temperature faster. So what that means for you is no more waiting around for things to thaw out before you hit the road. Even on the coldest mornings, your engine will turn over easily by warming things up before ignition.

This is gonna prevent the wear and tear that comes from dry or cold starts. And as we mentioned, this is designed specifically for your vehicle's engine. It's going to install cleanly in the frost plug. So no guesswork or modifications are gonna be needed. This is gonna give you up to 400 watts of heating power at 120 volts.

So it's gonna keep your coolant warm and your starts consistent. And this plug is removable. It's a five foot long silicone cord, so this is gonna stand up to heavy duty use. And the reason it detaches is, if for some reason this cord gets damaged, you're not gonna have to replace the whole heater. All you have to do is replace the cord and you'll be good to go.

I wanted to point out too, I don't see this on a lot of other block heaters from other manufacturers, but this does have a protective cap for those prongs. So when this is not in use, that cap is gonna keep this nice and clean and keep it from getting damaged easily. So that's a really nice touch. The bore diameter is 28 millimeter THD. If you happen to have any other additional questions, whether it's about this heater or anything else that we carry here at etrailer.com, don't hesitate to reach back out to us. We do want to make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
