where does this install, in the heater hoses ? if so how does it work around the engine thermostat ? i am installing this in a semi truck

Mine installed on the small engine cooling hose (note the hose size) that is part of the heater core system (passenger heater in the truck). The coolant is heated and the hot collant rises, so take this into account as far as shere you tap in to the hose. This does not provide much movement of fluid, but plenty of heat. Try their website: http://www.fivestarmanufacturing.com/Guides I am not associated with them in any way.

I left the thermostat in my vehicle, a 2008 ford diesel. I have had no issues with the engine getting up to temp nor have I had any issues with the heater working.

There is no truth to this unless the customer is routing the hose incorrectly. If you look at the unit you will see both hoses mount in the back of the unit, the farthest side from the hot engine.

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

Should take a half hr. But I took another hr to install a cut out switch. So I can turn it on when needed. It has an auto on off when it senses engine run. But will stay heated even if not needed until the engine is shut down.

This will work with any heat only application, so should be fine as long as the electric is setup for single in-line power. Keep in mind the thermostat is battery powered, so you'll need to keep that replaced. I have this in our camper and it's about 3 feet from me. I can't say that I hear the on/off solenoid. So, however loud it is, it's not enough to wake me up.

I usually run these things under dash molding to the door opening. I try to find an opening to the fender and fish the wire into the engine compartment right near where the fender, door and hood hinge are proximate. Then along engine compartment and out the bottom of the grille. Most recently I've just stuck it near the bottom of the door hinge area, but that seems to pick up heat from the engine or the passenger compartment in winter.

Remove the hose from the Thermostat housing, then remove the thermostat. Reinstall the hose to the housing and do the procedure. The removed thermostat allows free flow of coolant for this procedure. If you are still confused, watch a YouTube video on thermostat removal.

Really do not understand your question. But this Module will prevent the heater and or A/C only from running when truck is turned off & key out of ignition. Easy to hook up too.

Depending on the year of vehicle. I put mine in a 79 ford 4x4 and just installed it into the existing heater hose without adding hose . I drained radiator removed enough hose to install heater. It's a piece of cake.

Do you have a 5,.3 or 6.0 gm engine? If so it will work. The thermostat ( included) fits in the inlet.

Place the silver towards the hot side. In my engine you had to tape the blanket down or use some type of heat resistant fastener.

This thermostat is for hydronic heating systems (hot water radiators heated by a gas or oil furnace). If thats what your in wall gas heater does, then this is the ticket - it only has 2 wires to hook up - right to the ones from your old thermostat I'd guess. If its hot air you've got I'm not sure if this is the one you'd want. You might talk to a local heating guy about it.

It is a thermostat. Not sure what else you'd use it for. It mounts to a wall box - wired-in between the line power supply & the heater.

I ran the wire through 2 metal cable clamps coated with rubber. Then I removed 2 oil pan bolts and put the cable clamps on the bolts then reinstalled the bolts being careful not to over tighten them. Then I ran the remaining portion of the heater wire over to the frame of the truck and zip tied up so it wouldn't hang down and get caught on something.

I am not sure. But I this helps, where I installed it is under the hood, in my engine compartment of my truck. It is less than a foot from my engine. I used it to make a seal for my air filter, to keep the warmer engine air away from the cooler air coming in from my wheel well. Hope this helps.
