According to my contact at Five Star manufacturing, the parent company of Kat's Heaters, the primary difference between the # KH24025 and # KH26025 is the way the heating element is ran in the pad itself. On the # KH24025, the wire used for the heating element is ran in a loop, while the element used in the
# KH26025 is arranged in a serpentine fashion.

My contact tells me that the # KH26025 would deliver a more even heat to the transmission or oil pan, which is why I'd recommend going that route over the # KH24025.
