This review is for block heater KH11461 installed in a Mahindra 5010 with the 49 hp Daedong engine, after one year. This block heater came with the tapered bushing to fit in a 1 1/4" frost plug hole next to the starter. Tap out the frost plug (screwdriver, hammer) Tap in bushing (hammer piece of wood and sleeve retainer from NAPA). Screw in the block heater. Fill with antifreeze and run the engine to ensure there is no air in the cooling system to prevent burning out the heater. I also added a battery heater and trickle charger all on 1 cord permanently mounted under the hood. This now starts well below zero easily. etrailer has a video of this product.738102

Works well. Thanks 1202258

Great communication. Great price. The item kh11461 fit my 2004 kioti ck30 perfect. 1/2 hour to install ( including taking off the exhaust ).603198

It’s been a year and it is working as advertised. I teamed it up with a smart switch from Kasa that lets me turn it on from an app on my phone and I give it a half hour or so and go out and the tractor starts right up.

Works great, no issues with the product but the cord is short for my Ram since the original connection site is near the back of the engine block. I have to open my hood to plug it in which isn't a hude deal but an extra 8-12" of length would have been nice.1493020

excellent for farm tractors; use on perkins diesels ,and simpson diesels; just installed and is working fine! a good one should last 20 years; the one I replaced (for a tractor from a tractor supply house lasted less than 2 YEARS, the one before had gone the 20 years) your block heater has a heavy duty cord and the threaded cuff lock down nut on the sender was an all time first for me, thanks. To use this kit 11409 your must already have the block bushing or the bushing for a block heater for this kit will be # 11461b and about $7.00. Noticed your were in SPRINGFIELD TN; I farm in Tn and Ky. good for you. thanks again. TERRY FITZPATRICK, Austin, Ky596118

I just received this block heater today and have not installed it yet but it looks real simple. etrailer.com was a great price and fast shipping481870

It was simple to install once I figured out how to drain the coolant from my 2016 Ford Edge. Had to remove a few vacuum lines in order to get my arm into the correct angle to thread it into the block. Works great. Far better than the $400 that Ford parts wanted for their kit.

Heater is good but it didn't fit in the frost plug hole that had the existing heater in. This replacement had a longer element and it touched the inside of block no matter what angle i turned it and would not seal properly. I think if it was in one of the other frost plugs maybe it would work? I have ordered many other block heaters from here with no issues. Like I said prob fits in different frost plug location so beware have a plan b ready. Hard to give bad review at these prices922138

The Kat's website says this part number does not fit my 4Runner but your website and the paperwork in the packaging says it does fit. It's leaking around it so they must be correct and your site is incorrect.1224764

I wanted to reach out to you in regards to your review on the engine block heater. You mentioned that the heater is not working correctly and I have a question that I would like to ask. What size engine does your 2000 Toyota 4 Runner have?

Engine size is 5ZFE, 3.4 L V6

I have reached out to the manufacturer and confirmed that it will fit a 2000 Toyota 4runner with a 5ZFE, 3.4 L V6 engine. The best location to install the heater block on a conventional front facing engine is the left rear location.

I am very satisfied. I had looked for awhile for this size and let me tell you, This company communicates and keeps you informed of your purchas and shipping. I installed this in a 1986 Massey Ferguson 3cyl diesel. No one else carries this size that I could find. I will buy from again. 486825

I bought this as a supposed upgrade for the stock 750w heater in my 12v Cummins. This heater failed almost immediately, I think I used it twice before realizing it wasn't working anymore. etrailer was helpful and offered to exchange it under warranty, but I did some research and found a lot of negative reviews of this style of Kat's heaters.

I decided I would be better off washing my hands of this heater altogether, and ultimately ended up installing two 750w Cummins heaters in my engine to satisfy my desire to upgrade.

This product works perfectly! It was installed on a 2006 Ford Escape XLT. I had a dealership install the heater. Living in the Midwest, on mornings below 10 degrees, I can definitely tell a difference in the car starting. The heat was slightly warm immediately after starting the car. This heater was used everyday for four months in the middle of winter in ND. The car was parked outside all winter and was plugged in all night. No issues! I would highly recommend this product. 803392

This worked perfectly. It wasn’t made for the tractor I put it on, so I had to fabricate an adapter and then all I had to do was plug it in. About 30 minutes after plugging it in and the engine will start in the coldest weather. Great product and great service from etrailer.902044

hi
put this block heater on a Kubota D1105 (RTV1100) , 2012. In place of a heater that was already there . tighten up screw to specs, I could take one finger and wiggle it. was worried when it got to temp , it would leak or pop out and lose my engine. the old one was a friction fit, not a butterfly hold .
I have got other things from etrailer that were good, blocker heater did not work with this case. Not etrailer fault. KAT heater KH11487 not up to the job, have to go back to Kubota to get part.611370
