Product Description
The factory grid heater connection carries high current through a small fastener inside the intake. Over time, the fastener can deteriorate, arc, and break. If it enters the engine, it can damage the piston, cylinder head, or valves.
BD Diesel’s upgrade changes that electrical connection. The replacement hardware fastens directly to the lower busbar, eliminating the two problematic nuts inside the factory grid heater. The stock heater remains in place and keeps its full heat output for cold starts. The kit includes the replacement hardware, gaskets, and tools for installation.
