Notes:
Start your engine easier and warm your cab faster in cold weather with this frost-plug-style engine block heater. Heating your engine coolant keeps it from thickening and freezing, resulting in more reliable start-ups and smoother operation altogether. It also lessens the workload and extends the life of your vehicle's battery. And because starting your engine when it's warm creates less condensation in the engine block than starting it when it's cold, your engine will get better initial fuel vaporization, which causes fewer emissions and less pollution.
This frost-plug heater replaces the core plug in your engine block. The power cord on the heater is removable so that you won't need to buy a whole new heater if the cord gets damaged. The cord can be routed through your grille for easy access to a 120-volt outlet or extension cord. If needed, a longer or shorter cord (sold separately) can be purchased to better fit your application. Make sure the heating element is fully submerged in the coolant before plugging it in.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this Kat's Heaters custom diesel engine block heater. Now, this is a custom fit part that is going to fit your 2016 to 2019 Nissan Titan XD 5.0 liter V8 diesel engine Turbocharged. Now, this frost plug heater is going to replace the core plug in your engine block and submerges in your coolant to keep your engine fluids from thickening, resulting in smoother startups, faster heating and defrosting of your cab, and less wear and tear on your vehicle in cold weather. Now, heating your engine coolant keeps it from thickening and freezing, resulting in more reliable startups and smoother operations altogether. It also lessens the workload and extends the life of your vehicle's battery. And because starting your engine when it's warm creates less condensation in the engine block than starting it when it's cold, your engine will get better initial fuel vaporization, which causes fewer emissions and less pollution.
You wanna make sure that you don't use this with 100% anti-free solution, and you don't wanna start your engine with the heater plugged in. Now, this power cord on this heater is removable, so you won't need to buy a whole new heater if this cord happens to get damaged for whatever reason. The cord can be routed through your grill for easy access to a 120 volt outlet or extension cord. And if needed, a longer or shorter cord, which is sold separately, can be purchased to better fit your application. This is going to come with a six foot cord.
You do wanna make sure that the heating element, again, is fully submerged in your coolant before plugging this in. And this is made here in the USA of corrosion resistant brass. It is CSA approved. The diameter is one and 1/16th inches. This has a wattage of 600 watts and an amperage of five amps.
This does come with installation instructions to walk you through the installation process, and that's going to conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Contacted e-trailer and they quickly put me in contact with the manufacturer.
The answer that the manufacturer had was that the heater may or may not work. The only way to find out would be to start removing freeze plugs and checking.
Kat’s customer service made no offer of instructions or anything else.
Great product was delivered quickly and on time. When I contacted customer care about verifying my address everyone was polite and professional and very helpful.
