    M1083 & Gichner S280 Overland Expedition Build

    CoachGeo, I saw a post of yours on Expedition portal discussing installation of a diesel coolant heater. If you can share any advice on the best points to connect the coolant heater lines into the engine’s coolant loop, and maybe some photos, I’d be grateful.
