How To: Air Intake Heater(AIH) Delete Mod

[Justin@DP-Tuner]

I know this is a pretty basic thing but some guys may have questions or need help. I have attached a write up on how I have done it.

Nice write up, I would add if you didn't want a soft code for the AIH, you should install at least 1Watt worth of 470 Ohm resistors grounded out.

Thanks. And yes, you could do that for piece of mind.

Peace of mind or to pass smog in Commifornia

Registered in Calaveras County. No smog for me

Nice write up...

Nice write up...

Thanks man!

If you could add the necessary info about the resistor I would be happy to put that in the library. I think I have seen trucks not run a contribution when the heater was deleted but the resistor was not in place. PM if I forget.

Sounds good Tom. I'll put the info in there and post the updated version in this thread.

I believe the only way a contribution test would not run was if the little blue wire were not attached. Anyway, I am attaching the updated version of the AIH Delete.

Ok, I had to do a small edit on the write up. Please disregard the attachment in my previous post and use the most current one(the one attached to this post).

Does this affect the cold starting in the winter thanks Bobby

 

[DEEZUZ]

This thing does not aid in any kind of starting.. its just for extended cold idle to clear up white smoke....

 

[BigAlsPSD]

Does this affect the cold starting in the winter thanks Bobby

It is to decrease smoke at cold start up that's it, per Ford


Ambient temperature must be below 32°F
Engine oil temperature (EOT) must be below 131°F
Vehicle power must remain between 11.5 and 15.0 volts
Parking brake must be applied
The transmission must be in Park or Neutral
Glow plugs must be off

You wont even notice when this thing is on or off as far as starting the truck. Glow plugs effect cold starts.

Cool, I've been thinking of installing some resistors after this delete.

Thanks!

Yeah, I installed a 1/2 watt 470 ohm resistor yesterday. I just ran it from the post on the solenoid to a ground bolt on the engine.

So what happens if you just delete the Relay? What does the blue wire do? Why can't it just be taken off the relay and put to the side?

 

[TyCorr]

You get annoying codes in your cts for it. Other than that nothing.
