They make a smaller unit for pickups and vans ect.Check out the website!http://www.webastoshowroom.com/blueheat/.I think I paid about 2600 bucks Canadian to have the one in my 550 installed,that included remote and timer.We work oilfield up here in Northern Alberta,and leave the 550 on lease overnite.In the morning we jump in and its always toasty warm! Got one off ebay,about 1000 bucks and want to install in my 08 350 as this is our run around truck and sits on lease all day.

I just read your post and I have a webasto TSL 17 in my 96 350. I know it might seem to big for a pickup but if you look at the amount of coolant and how cold it might get, its just about right. I hope you have a better way of plumbing it than I did. The only way I was able to do it was to put it in series with the heater, but when the engine is running and your going down the road at 55MPH the water pump on the engine is pushing way more water than the webasto is designed for and the water pump on it doesn't last more than a couple years before the bearings go out on it. Other than that I love mine, it can be -55 to -60 and the heater is on for about a hour and the truck starts fine and is putting a little bit of heat in the cab.
