HotShots

[johndjmix1]

MUD: I guess you have never driven in really cold weather...i mean really cold, like in the mtns of wyoming or colorado. Even with the defrost on full blast the wipers and window can ice up. Heated fluid solves that issue, thats the main use for it I was thinking of.

Ok, here's the kit



Here's where I mounted it



and here's a pic with it all hooked up



As soon as we get a hard frost, maybe this coming week, I'll try it out and update everyone.

ahhh... You have one of the kits that are prone to catching on fire... You can tell by the fuse size. The updated kits have a huge fuse on it like what you'd see run for a stereo amp.



Wasn't that the kit on ebay like 2 weeks back. Not many going through there anymore.

EDIT: Never mind, that one isn't made by microheat...

Our Tahoe parts (NEw HArness) will be in next week. I'll get pics and see if I can get a part number as well. You should be able to use it with that kit you just bought.

Yeah I did not buy the "HotShots" from Microheat. Instead I bought a kit from JC Whitney. We'll see how it works out.

So there is no switch on this unit? It just heats as long as the ignition is on?

Also MUD do you drive an H2 and if so have you ever driven in snow?? The windshields being almost flat cause the snow to not slide up and over roof like more slanted windshields so it slides down and clumps on the blades and if really cold then refreezes. It sucks.

Yea, michigans lake effect snow just must be different from everyone elses snow

Maybe I never had this issue becuase I rain-x the crap out of my windshield and nothing ever sticks to it...I use the rain-x washer fluid also.

Well this winter i will try the rainx to see if it helps. Maybe spray some Pam as well
