Hi All, I have been reading the posts here for a few months now, and have recently bought a 98 quad 12 valve. I am absolutly thrilled with it ;D

I hope I can contribute to the forum as much as I got so far :-*

I just found out today about the Block 53 potential cracking and was somewhat relieved I did not have one.

My rig will be used mostly for towing a 25.5 fifth.

Just a quick intro

 

You just bought yourself the best engine and truck combo..... congrats, and welcome.

Wish I could find a 98 12V....

 

Only thing better than my 97 12V is a 98 12V. Good job and now fill out your profile, post some pics and ask a lot of questions.

Congrats, Srigs

 

Good deal,been looking for one of those too, I am wanting a quad cab 4wheel,long bed 98 any color just under a 100k miles,let us know what all yours is, and welcom. Rick

 

Its a 98 quad, long box 2wd limited slip automatic. It has a battery powered combustion coolant heater installed which works awesome and uses very little juice. I believe it has all the 98 options except leather interior.

I am still learning lots about it, so far no big surprizes though

 

Is your heater an ESPAR or WABASTO???

Ive got an espar...and the thing works unbelievably well......definitely a must have for winter on the prairies...

 

We have a Wabasto, haven't used it yet in the cold climate, but tried it out to see if it worked, seems to keep things warm.

 

Could one of you explain these heaters,how they work and install?? I stay over night some in my truck and could use one,or for that matter are they for keeping you warm or just the motor,I just do not know anything about them,and have tried to find out on the internet,thanks RIck
