The Total Truck Heating System consists of a coolant heater and an auxiliary AGM battery to provide heat for the truck's cab and engine. This setup eliminates the need for idling the truck's engine in cold weather conditions. The system uses residual heat from the truck's engine to circulate coolant, only engaging its diesel engine if needed. The system is capable of producing more than 17,000 BTUs per hour.
