Grid heater delete

[Bad93Cummins]

Is it worth it? Does it do anything mileage or perfromance wise?

[ZSkibo]

All you'll most likely see are slightly lower (50 degrees maybe) EGT and boost due to better flow of air. Nothing that you'll feel driving. Oh, and harder starting if your low temps are under 30. That said, I don't run my heater in the summer time (just cuz) but it's not really a performance mod. Just eliminates battery drawdown on starting I guess.

well I live mid-eastern florida so not very often does it reach 40, lol

O sure, rub it in while I freeze 1800 miles north of you.

[Bad93Cummins]

sorry bud, lol Don't mean to rub it in, just seeing if its worth the time to delete them or not.

Where you are so far south, it may be a smart thing to do. If you do end up with big injectors and it does get cold you will miss your grid heaters.

I have a stock Cummins grid delete around here somewhere.
Too cold for them here.

Good deal. I'll probably be done with the auto part by then. i'm doing auto/diesel/industrial. Just look for the big red & white thing in my avatar. Shoot me a pm if you need somebody to show you around.

[Bad93Cummins]

Will do man!! That'd be cool be in the same class their man. Ya my plan is doing diesel/diesl industry/cummins electrive prgram, work for cummins for 5-8 years then open up my own shop.

[DieselSharker]

I'm probably gonna end up doing the same thing. After Cummins I'll probably try to get a job fixing generatorson oil rigs or work for the railroad. BNSF heavily recruits vets and I've talked to one of their recruiters and he said I shouldn't have a problem getting a job with them. They pay very well and I believe it's also a union job. Anyway...didn't mean to hijack the thread, carry on lol.

[Bad93Cummins]

Yea man Im excited to go and start off strong doing the thing I love doing, working on trucks and diesel's and owning my own shop.

that sounds like a hell of a plan man!!
