• Install Location of the Kats Heaters Block Heater # KH11812 on a 2013 Hyundai Elantra
• The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 will install on the right front location of the engine block on your 2013 Hyundai Elantra. If you are sitting in the vehicle this will be the forwardmost location on the passenger's side as you can see from the attached photo. For this type of heater you simply clip it into the cavity on your engine block which means you won't have to remove the core frost plug. Please note that you do not want to use this heater with 100% antifreeze...

• Can The Kat's Heaters Engine Block Heater Be Run All Night
• The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style - 120V - 400 Watts # KH11812 can be left in the "RF" port of your 2012 Hyundai Elantra GL 1.8L engine block but you should only run the block heater for a couple of hours before you plan on cranking the engine. If you're like me and want things to be easy you can buy an outlet timer and set it to two hours before you plan on leaving for the day so that it will automatically kick on and start warming the engine block.

• Preparing Weld Nuts for Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2007 Hyundai Elantra
• Instead of starting with a tap, I recommend instead a good thorough cleaning using a penetrate like WD-40 and a wire brush like # DW00254. You can spray down the holes, let it set for about 10 minutes, and then run the wire brush vigorously in the holes. You may have to do this several times to thoroughly clean the holes. It just takes a little time and some elbow grease, but cleaning the holes will not run the risk of damaging the threads like a tap would. The installation of the Draw-Tite...

• Using a Tow Dolly to Transport a 2012 Hyundai Elantra
• I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2012 Hyundai Elantra and it looks like the only thing stated is that it can be towed with the front wheels off of the ground. If you are looking for more specifics than that it would be best if you contact your local Hyundai dealer. If you don't already have a tow dolly then I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 for a few reasons; it has tilting/folding ramps and a folding tongue to make it easier to store (whether at...

• Why Does Curt Require a Stabilizer Strap But Hidden Hitch Doesn't
• Curt recommends the stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks to help support the hitch when going over bumps to prevent some of the vertical shock from being transferred to the hitch. Curt does this as a precaution, it's not that Draw Tite or Hidden Hitch are stronger. Both hitch brands make outstanding hitches that are typically stronger than what they are rated for. I would say that Curt just happens to approach the idea of a bike rack/cargo carrier being used in a lower...
