If you are talking about the block heater, you can go to an International dealer and tell them what you want. Also there are aftermarket types available at something like NAPA stores that you could probably put inline .. either lower rad hose or heater hoses. Hope this helps you out

you can get block heaters at napa as well,not sure about the 6.9,but on my 7.3 it mounts above the starter on the passenger side of the block.or do you want a air preheater?,if your gloplugs are working correctly all you should need to get her running is the plugs and blockheater if its real cold.

thanks

the reason why would be easier starting problem is yad need to heat such a volume of air to make it have a difrence ya wouldnt have an battery left to crank the engien over.
