Wheres the boss lady at . Hope you're still behaving yourself ezrider92356 🙋♀️🇬🇧🚛🙏🇺🇸🤣🤣. Known as a night heater over here . Fitted as standard on sleeper cabs here to .
The standpipe had I think a 3/8npt on it and used a reducer bushing if you order with the right install kit it will come with the standpipe (some come with t fittings) or the standpipes can be purchased separately
love this type of content im in my 20s and i hope to own a old school pete soon in the next few years iv been driving for 3 years im saving up for a truck to become an owner operator 💪🏼
Owner/op is worth it. Just get the right truck from the start or you’ll hate your first year. If you have to wait a little longer to get the right one don’t hesitate. And by the right truck I mean something you don’t spend all your time and money just to keep going.
I got window screens and a big fan to blow air in the cab. As long as I’m alone somewhere like a freeway off ramp I can sleep even when it’s pretty hot.
agreed, got a d2 in my 88 379, its bout 6 years old still works great, does need maintenance n clean out but is very mechanic friendly! i carry spare screens just in case
My company bought for company truck. ..thermo king solar panels 800 watts.???. Hooks right to battery's to keep charged up. I can run bunk heater for 3 days. And truck starts right up on 3ed. Day....think cost was.. $600.00. Fot it....even a small one like a 400watt. Would do the job...
You're a funny guy, a little goofy and definitely not an actor...but I enjoy the shit out of your videos. I am subscribed now. You have a lot of knowledge and do things the way I would do em, once and right, cause there is no in between. I would love to tinker in your shop and drink a ice cold beer, summer time of course. Ole Red would look good with dual 15" breathers, js. 91789 btw
I had one of those heaters in .my truck at Walmart it sucked it would heat up nice shut off then youd freeze your but off youd have to reset it every few hours I had it checked out a bunch it never worked right,they put a APU it was great.
If it's warm enough that the heater is shutting all the way off crack a window so it stays running. The programming won't hold a consistent temp if it's shutting off to avoid excessive cycling. This is the same heater that is installed with a lot of Apu units
@@Ezrider359 it only did it when it was real cold out if it was a little chilly it was fine .I started using a electric space heater with the APU instead
She's such a Beaut there lad! Make sure you put up some long driving vids from the dash cam passenger side when you start hauling with it. You'd get more views with hauling vids with the Mack and such. People like me who're all buggered up physically watch those and get a lot of comfort out of them for some reason [guess it makes us feel like we're traveling or something]. Check out some of the FSC Speed Shop driving vids he puts up. He never intended on doing much in terms of his trucking but his views went up through the roof pretty much because of the hauling vids that insomniacs and people also riddled with arthritis get calm watching [they're cool vids]. :-))
Please make a video how to repair this heater. Iam from UAE and I didn't find anyone who is able to repair this heater .If possible then make a video. Thanks in Advance.
So that just runs off battery power overnight? Do you have any plans for cooling in the summer? Once buy my own I definitely want to be able to shut it down overnight although idling drowns out all the other noise and helps me sleep
We used to run almost identical bunk heaters. Worked great but about every year they would start to smoke real bad and need a new glow plug. Other than that they were good. just keep a glow plug on hand
With a Webasto the unit shuts off when there is less than 8.8 volts available. Pretty sure Espar would have the same features. Depending on the temperature and how much the unit works I've had it run 12-14 hrs continuous. If you're home every night I ran mine at a lower cab temperature there's nothing nicer than hopping into a 75 degree truck to flash it up when it's -20 outside. working your truck for 6-8 the next day should top up your batteries but you'll be changing batteries every 2 years minimum.
You have done such a Awesome Job on this Truck l just can't believe how much it has come from when You started on the Rebuild Once again what a Awesome Job looking forward to seeing the New Interior install that's going to make a Huge Difference Love the Videos
May I add my two cents worth? The exhaust flex hose I would run through the hole of the top fuel tank bracket / foundation. It's right below where the hose now, look a little cleaner I think. Definitely be out of the way of the future hydraulic tank
Great video, thanks. Would it make sense to install a cabin air filter where you are going to put the hardware mesh? Keeping dust out might make things more efficient and extend the time between deep cleanings.
heard many folks rave about these heaters. they all have the same opinion of the chap knock offs. i like the connectors not being pinned. much nicer installation that way.
Are you concerned about the diesel supply lines waxing up and possibly becoming blocked in really cold weather? - I watched you install that narrow bore pipe between the pump and the heater without any insulation. Also can it be used as an additional fan moving air in hot weather without, obviously, the burner switched on?
It cannot be used as auxiliary fan, its heat or nothing. Our fuel is winterized across the country from November to March and like me, I imagine Ezra runs an anti gel additive in the winter. I've been adding a quart of ATF to each tank during the winter since the ULSD was mandated. I have not had a line or filter gel up and the ATF adds sulfur back to the diesel, a necessary lubricant for injectors etc.
Interesting ..run heater while under power...my bunk heater..will not operate..if tractor is running..so that tells me theses espar ..have a option..to operate under power...
I've said it before a man can learn a lot on this cool stuff been thinking off installing in truck's lot of drivers say this heater saves your butt when truck brakes down in the cold mouths i see it working
Your series gives me a greater appreciation of big rigs I see on the road. It’s also very entertaining to watch great mechanics like yourself fixing and restoring all sorts of equipment. Keep up the good work Ezra. PS The new steering wheel your gal gave you looks great.
Looks like a great addition to your rig. I've watched all the videos in this series I like how you throughly explain what you are doing and the reasons for your decisions.
I appreciate all of your videos. Awesome parking heater and I Like your approach to each job. Do you have any info on A/C work for Ol' Red? I have an R12 system. There seems to be no info on upgrades for whole system A/C with bunk 134a. Maybe 379 parts?
you can convert to 134a basically just by flushing the system and changing the fittings. mine was previously converted to 134a including the expansion valves. witch i think you could probably get threw dirks. i still need to do some work on my ac system will probably be a video on the ac before it gets hot out.
Good stuff! Got a good story for ya...My oldest brother came out of the military, got a new 1959 Chevy tractor and went on the road. He installed a propane tank behind the cab and heater in the cab. This truck had a gas engine and NO APU back then. He was out on the road during winter and the truck broke down, I believe somewhere in Pennsylvania. Well, not knowing how long he would be broke down, he turned on the propane heater and was able to stay warm, until the problem was fixed. What a SAVE! Good job on the install. Lots of extra wire for the shelf! 🧐 I wouldn’t have thought about the air intake direction versus the exhaust locations as much because I’ve never installed one of these. But after watching your video, I feel that I could do a good job, and I do usually think a step or two ahead when I do my work. I’ve noticed a few trucks with the Espar heaters and I’m not sure that they were professionally nor correctly installed. Some people don’t seem to care if the exhaust is bumping against the fuel tank. “Let’s just get it installed and done...it doesn’t have to look good!” I just DON’T care for that attitude myself! So, another good job and another step closer to having Old Red set up the way you want her. 😎 Hey, are you using her now for anything or is she just sitting around waiting? I’m sure that if something comes up, and she’s just there ready, you take her and get down the road. I know you have the Mack and probably keep it busy, right? That’s probably what motivated you to get another truck, other than the fact that Ol Red was just setting around, rotting down and you just had to save her! 😎 By the way, I’m glad that you did save this fine piece of Pete history! 🥰
Ah good stuff. Great quality part and a super clean install too. It’s said EBB-uh-SPE-chuh where the ch sounds like “loch” in Scottish ie in the back of the throat. Do you need to insulate the pump and feed lines in -30 to stop waxing in that fine bore pipe?
My company has had WEBASTO heaters on all our day cabs for about 3 years now. It is a game changer! Can pre set it to come on at a set time for a set period of time. Prevents cold starts as the block, oil, and coolant are warm. Also nice to fire up when sitting for a load to keep warm. Nice install Ezra!
well hello there sir I am a new subscriber to your channel and I've been following along on your project peterbilt 359 project I think you're doing an outstanding job on that truck can't wait to see it on the road keep up the good work buddy keep the videos coming you're doing a good job
Great video Ezra! Good job explaining the step by step procedure, as well as giving the little details as to why you did what you did. Might help people in the future to get their heater installed.
How long can this run ? All night? Would the battery be able start the truck after this thing has been running all night ... fuel pump is getting power from the batteries
Sounds exactly like my cars Webasto heater. Maybe because it's exactly that but from a different manufacturer and with some more power. There's a Russian company called Binar which makes some absolutely top notch heaters too.
I had a number of trucks with night heaters in back in the U.K. Brilliant in the winter or any cold miserable day or night. Nice installation 👍🏴🇺🇸
Questions I saw you old post of 5th wheel block that you did ,,any info how did it hold up . Sorry I know It's not the topic of the video . Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Super great content. Questions: 1. Is there a risk of the exhaust leaking back in to the cab causing risk of toxic fumes or low oxygen while sleeping? 2. Would it be best to run the exhaust out to where you ran it, but then have a stainless elbow and standpipe going up back of can to roof of sleeper? With a turn back at the top to keep water out. This would make sure the exhaust exited out the top and could never be on the level of your body in the sleeper? - thanks for the video!!
thicker blanket is cheaper (it only gets down to minus 1 here) .....old red is coming together ...are you going to insulate under the sleeper and cab ????
@@Ezrider359 i used to drive a truck that the owner disconnected the heater line from the heater unit cause it leaked and he didn't want to fix it it was freaking cold inside the truck driving through the night and the door seals didn't do there job either so it was fr-fr-freezing in the truck i mainly contend with heat of summer only wish the sleeper had driver side bunk door as well for cross breeze in the sleeper the vent do nothing only at speed they work
I know it’s not a semi, but I just finished cleaning up all the excess wiring from my lighting, power steps, programmer, etc, this past summer on my dodge diesel. Ended up with tons of extra wire after cutting and splicing to clean it up. Love your vids ezra! 🍻
I needed that and my Carrier APU heater to stay warm in Alaska and the Yukon Territory in the winter. If I would go back to trucking I would probably put two in my truck. I spent a very cold night in Whitehorse when I broke down and couldn't idle the main engine and the APU crapped out on me.
Espar and Webasto make great heaters. The knockoffs are ok for occasional use, but no comparison to the real deal. We run a LOT of Webasto coolant heaters which are nice for keeping everything warm for good cold starts, but they're more complicated install (need a coolant pump) and more expensive. The Espar air heaters are great middle ground and keep you warm and with that big cam you can winterfront the entire rad if you had to since it's aftercooled to keep the engine warm.
Bunk heater #1 way 2 go....light.... International factor .apu...heavy. . 4 battery's for it I think.... Outside. APU... way heavy. ..and always fixing it...... Truck idling..one gallon per hour. . Bunk heater.. point 75 gallon in 24 hr...
i don't really need a unit capable of a/c as we really only have a couple months of really hot weather here and it always cools way down at night. i might end up running the truck for a/c 2-3 nights a year.
i tested it once before i don't remember the exact number but somewhere around 7 hours per gallon at full output witch is rarely needed to keep the cab of a truck warm.
Awesome job ..I just put a Wabasto water heater on our excavator about the same except its in the water lines works Awesome...keep up the good work ..wet kit should be interesting to well done..
That should be a cozy cab with the soundproofing and new interior panels. Can the espar be used to augment the factory heaters while the truck is in motion?
Good job buddy I really injoy the videos I've learned alot on these old trucks. You would make a great teacher may God bless you and keep the wheels turning my friend.
Mr ezrider have you saved yourself alot of money i have been watching you awhile and I have never seen you get anything done at other shops good work and your pete doesn't have eld a plus and no pollution devices another plus and will you run the mack more or the pete
I have had one of those for ten years. One to heat engine. And one to heat can. Love them work great. Love your videos

Is there a worry of this killing your batteries over night?
As long as you have good battery's running it overnight is not a issue
what fuel stand pipe did you use? or did it come w ur heater? its 1/2 female port right

I got window screens and a big fan to blow air in the cab. As long as I’m alone somewhere like a freeway off ramp I can sleep even when it’s pretty hot.
I'm a little surprised that you didn't install a diesel fired engine heater considering where you live.

Amazing job installing and explaining as always. Thank you. And it's amazing that 3 monkeys disliked this video.
Love the videos thanks slot for sharing some much great information. I picked up a 78 357 last week going to start on it soon 👍👍
As usual, another great video. Old Red has come a long way and is looking good. Can’t wait to see the final product.
Bunk heater #1 way 2 go....light....
International factor .apu...heavy. .

Outside. APU... way heavy. ..and always fixing it......
Truck idling..one gallon per hour. .
Bunk heater.. point 75 gallon in 24 hr...
i don't really need a unit capable of a/c as we really only have a couple months of really hot weather here and it always cools way down at night. i might end up running the truck for a/c 2-3 nights a year.
Always a great video, been watching since day one, hard work. But great results. Keep up the good work!👍👌😁
How much fuel do thy use per hour?
i tested it once before i don't remember the exact number but somewhere around 7 hours per gallon at full output witch is rarely needed to keep the cab of a truck warm.
Awesome job ..I just put a Wabasto water heater on our excavator about the same except its in the water lines works Awesome...keep up the good work ..wet kit should be interesting to well done..
That should be a cozy cab with the soundproofing and new interior panels. Can the espar be used to augment the factory heaters while the truck is in motion?
Good job buddy I really injoy the videos I've learned alot on these old trucks. You would make a great teacher may God bless you and keep the wheels turning my friend.

The heaters in our work Van's have times and also a remote app control.Nice when you can pre warm the van in the winter.
