Hcalory Diesel Heater Setup, Test, and Review

[@MavHntr]

Just had my unit upgraded, new fuel pump (quieter!), internal wiring, improved intake/exhaust etc, etc. All done, extra $145 just to get this heater the way it should have been manufactured with quality internal parts.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Nice! Even with the added costs it’s still much more affordable than the Canadian built diesel heaters.

[@BBTechNerd]

What fuel pump did you replace it with?

[@wheredidileavemycell]

Keep up the good work!

[@GearUpAndGo23]

thanks for watching!

[@LarryRobles-ph7ks]

Great vid. Just got one myself. Would love to see a video on how to switch to thermostat mode. I’m confused. Lol

[@GearUpAndGo23]

hmm ill look into it. Planning on doing some more vids on the heater.

[@speedfreak8200]

My fob came with batteries installed, but says it doesn't. DC cable not working, I don't want to switch the wires around and screw something up. I don't know how to check. Thx for the video, it helped 😀

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Seems like it’s the luck of the draw with these heaters. I would ask hcalory for a new cable.

[@wheredidileavemycell]

I would ditch their adaptor and get the silver "rough/raw" looking 12v to 120 converter for 15 bucks...it sucks you gotta do that but beats having your stuff burning down. Alternatively, you can run it strictly battery setup with solar

[@GearUpAndGo23]

yeah i'm not going to use the one they gave me, going to stick to the one I bought off amazon.

[@rodgilmour-m6z]

I have same heater it’s a nightmare keeps going off and that’s with 4 inch ducting sometimes it will run a hour some times 10 mins on all different heat levels

[@GearUpAndGo23]

I would try to see if hcalory can help you fix it or just exchange it for a new one

[@rodgilmour-m6z]

The seller on Amazon don’t do returns

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Amazon doesn't do returns on the heater because of hazmat safety reasons, but if the item is defective you can request a refund or replacement.

[@rogerolivas5888]

I tried to get an exchange from Hcalory or any type of help from the customer line. They never responded. Pretty much a waste.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

My customer experience was okay at best, and that was just for an accessory item. Seems like if its anymore than that they wont do anything.

[@stefanmosiek3873]

Thats junk ducting should be aluminum

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Thanks for the tip. Would the aluminum ducting lose a lot of heat to the outside air?
