I actually want the stock electric heater to run on start up.
It would be a combined 32,000 BTU per hour. Then as the coolant loop temperature rises the electrical heat tapers off after about 2 or 3 minutes and the diesel fired heat should take over.
I found that if I turn the heat setting down to 60F and drive the car in eco mode it will only send like 300w to the heater.
Yes I can defeat the stock heater but in don't want to.
There are air heaters and hydronic heaters.
I want the hydronic heater.
