You can get all the parts you need for your Espar @
esparparts.com
If I understand correctly, this is included?
in the video 4:12 sec you say that you purchased it separately
scary part of the coolant leaking in the sleeper is it like koolaid to the dug but a death sentence. I get the build quality blows away the Chinese versions, but damn, even at $159 all that wiring stuff is already done. Literally at 20 minute install and at the price I can replace the Chinese version six or eight times to the cost of that one. I hate to say because I would to support an American made product, but I'd never beable to buy one for what they want for it. Blows me away they didnt even have the wiring all set and ready to go like the Chinese ones do. And yes, in sub zero temps this one can cook me out of here. I hate saying this on your sponsored vid but that install was crazy. Great video though.
Soon as I saw that pick up tube.....I was waiting to see how you were gonna get that down in the tank.
I was pretty stoked when I received my Espar heater from Thermo King Eastern Canada (Ottawa)...until I opened the box and saw that wiring harness and all the individual plugs/pins/connectors etc... Now, I'm a 'do-it-yourself and save money' type of person just like you folks, but in this instance I thought, "WTF have I gotten myself into?" Then I found and watched your video. 49 minutes and 45 seconds later I suddenly found that I had the confidence and motivation to just "get 'er done", as they say. Long story short, my Espar is completely self-installed and pumping heat into my old 379 Pete and I couldn't be happier, especially with winter approaching. Thanks guys!
FROM CZcamsR TO CZcamsR YOU ARE THE MAN BROTHER WOOOOOOOW
Mine is 7 years old, still kickin. Just took it apart and cleaned all the carbon out, new gaskets and atomizer screen,cleaned glow pin. Wish I had changed the atomizer screen sooner.
Thank you for your video. I bought one of these, my webasto went down so I decided to get a espar I could not believe there were no instructions, 2 computer disks, I am not a computer person.. I got ride of the goofy connections, after installing them, and went and got butt connectors, then I had power to the little screen and heater. After I figured out that I had the fuel pump backwards, now I got heat. Thank you so much for the video, I couldn't have done it without you. God bless and drive safe
I love webasto never fails, spars always in shop for repair well good luck with spars heating,
These units have been used on European trucks for over 35 years. A great bit of kit and if you keep them serviced they will last for years. Plus they are pretty low on battery drain. Great Video I really enjoyed watching again many thanks..........
We’ve heard they are very popular over there. I think they are catching on here too. Thank you so much
Hi Jason & Heather!! WOW That seemed complicated but you made it look easy! Thank you for showing the install and walking us through it. I am glad you guys have this in and done! Living the dream!! Peace, Love, & Expediting!!
We love it so far. Thank you always for great comments ❤️❤️
...you guys got photo bombed at the end of your video by your pup in the truck!!...sooo cute!
🐶
You have each other to stay warm.
You are amazing, there is a lot of important information about the installation. I think that when you threw away the installation at the beginning of the video, it was a joke hehe. It looks very professional. Thank you and greetings from Poland❤❤❤
Three years of procrastination. Lol, glad you guys finally got parked heat with the espar.
I know too long!! Thank you :)
I don't drive a truck but have been following you guys for some time. I was mesmerized watching Jason installing the espar system. Good job!!! I need help changing a light bulb. LOL.
Haha
17 degrees??? I figured at that temp Jason would still be in his skivvies - while Heather would be wrapped liked a mummy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just installed one of these and I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help! Especially on the easy start pro. You guys are amazing; I'm so grateful. Thank you!!
Awesome so glad the video helped!
When cutting zip ties, Place one edge of the side cutters on the lock block and the other on the zip tie that way it will cut the zip tie flush with the lock block and not have those sharp pieces. Invest in a correct set of Deusch plug pliers. Deusch plugs are the best by far. Stay warm . Stay safe.✌🧡🚚
Thanks for taking some time to go over the wiring. Much appreciated.
Kudos to the handy-dandy assistant LOL..... Nice job Jason, not only doing it yourself saves you money, I believe you get a certain amount of self satisfaction from it as well.. BTW, did you know those possibly dull wood-bits you used to drill aluminum can be sharpened with a file to to a nice edge again. Almost no need for a grinder, however, you could also buy a grinding wheel with a drill stem on it, and use your electric / or batter operated hand drill as a little grinder to brush up all your bits. I'm not a truck driver, or at least not for years now (and that was just deliveries and pick-up's for my own machine shop), however that was a great video of installation and I do commend you both! Thumbs up, and as always me and Shyann wish you lots of great loads and safe driving. BTW, the file I suggest is called a "Mill Bastard" file and note that is really the name of it. I use a good one to even sharpen my KUMA fishing knives, and even house knives, and to take sharp edges off pills. It will get you the best finish of all files, and it's also the most versatile. To remove lots of material, than a double cut file is good. I but I keep a Mill Bastard file in my house and in my shop due to their cutting quality and ease of use and also a good diamond sharpening stone for putting a fine edge on knives after using the mentioned file. Keep any stone wet, usually with a light oil, regardless if it's a stone or diamond compound.
MAN!! U got some nice tools!! Everything u need!!
It’s taken lots of time to build up on the tools. They make it easier when it comes to fixing stuff that’s for sure
U saved at least 300$$ + bro on doing it yourself
Gotta do what we can to save these days
The best video I watched for the installation of a bunk heater in CZcams, thanks guys you are soo sweet
Thank you. We definitely tried to be detailed
Jason- I think you should have used yellow teflon on the fuel fittings, and I wonder if DOT would give you a hard time having the heater exhaust over the fuel tank. Just a thought.
If you look at other truck it how they mount them.
@@tallone09 Wasn't really sure, I just know how particular DOT can be during inspections.
Espar is really growing and making a nice product 👏
Thanks for sharing
Run a pipe from the air intake into the cab. Recirculate and heat the air in the cab and not the outside air
The outside intake air pipe is only for the unit combustion air. The unit is heating air from inside the cab/sleeper.
Nice job on the install! Very cool or I should say nice and warm!
This should have more views. GREAT install vid that answered literally every question I had as I sat here with my uninstalled Espar kit. Easy-peasy now. Thank you!
Great video , I’m gonna buy the kit and follow your video one more time . Thanks.
Great step by step video. Glad you didn't always know the technical names of components. I understood your way of describing "things". Well done
We just wanna say thank u for sharing this detailed video we r currently installing same unit 🤝😎🙋🏻♀️
Hope it helped and your super warm tonight!!!
We have two heaters. Our roof heater can't keep up when it gets really cold and windy. The floor heater is awesome and will cook us out if we aren't careful!!
We were thinking of adding the rooftop one too but did hear the same thing. Loving this heater.
We have been trying to find out how to wire our espar heater, but no one had the same version as us. You saved our lives. Thank you for making this video...
I gave you a like as thanks.
So glad it helped you!!
you are very skilled in communications 10X THANKS !!!!!!!!!!
Nice video guys, very helpful. I am glad that the unit is working so well for you. You had to put in quite a bit of work on that project, but it was well worth it. Safe travels!!!
Thanks for doing this video. I have the same wiring harness system but had a hard time figuring things out until I found this.
So glad it helped. ✌🏻
Respect Jason tumps up
Thank you so much for doing this video. I am about to install this heater myself and your video helped me figure out all cabling which is ridiculous. Best video on CZcams for breaking down the process into manageable chunks.
You’re welcome. If for any reason it does not start once completely installed check the connects of the deutsch connectors. We had one pin not line up right on the second one we installed in another vehicle this year.
Wish my truck had an espar heater....my heat runs off the apu....my old truck would not idle so when the apu broke down I froze for a couple days...new truck idles so no more worries if apu brakes down...enjoy your new heat!!!
Thanks for the heater installment
Just want to say thank you sooo much for this video. It was a huge help in installing my heater.
That’s awesome. We’re glad it helped.
Just came across your installation video. I have an APU unit on my KW, and it won't start at all. It was installed from the factory. AC/HEAT, but it won'tt start. All it does when you flip the switch to power it up is beep, beep, beep! Checked fuses, connections, wires, you name it, oil, etc, nothing. It will beep, that's it. I think im gonna have to go this route and lose 2,200 pounds of crap of my truck, lol! It's a Thermoking, too
You're pup is in the window looking for u!!!😝
Nice couple ❤🎉
I believe Espar heaters are available from the factory on some new trucks. Not sure if it's factory or dealer installed, or both on new trucks. Everyone seems to race about these units.
Great video on installing heater u all be safe out there
This video was so helpful. I couldn't figure out what that 2nd connector on the easystart pro was @39:10. Thanks for explaining this!
It’s 2deg F an I’m stopped by the Eisenhower tunnel in CO an I can’t get the dang thing to fire up so it needs tuned up....... an a new temp controller now too for SOME reason lk sorry kicked it when I was sleeping cough uh hum yep when I was sleeping gonna be at the yard tomorrow anyway but don’t fix tonight at 2 deg but the truck is staying on so that’s definitely nice 👍
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make and edit then post. Blake was cool enough to order our truck with one. I like that it keeps The storage under the bunk warm, That keeps our water tank from freezing.
That’s very nice of him. That is an added bonus
What a fabulous how to video. You made it very clear and gave me some confidence to attempt this !
I love the dogs in the window watching u guys at the end . My dogs r just like them . Nosy . Great interesting video well done .
Lol gotta always see what we’re doing. Thank you very much
Thanks for sharing good job on explaining how to install.
Awesome video guys now since y'all got Heat the price of the truck needs to go up LOL enjoy the video y'all stay safe in Jesus name
Awesome install, I did one years ago on my old truck. Way to go Jason👍🏻
Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing. Safe travels my good friends ✌❤🚚🐶🐶
Very interesting 🤔 to see this, as a thought 💭 maybe find a way to protect the wires and hoses from damage and the weather under the bunk an in the storage box
We were thinking of adding some wire loom to protect against rubbing
TheCraftyTrucker
10-4 on that one y’all, hope y’all are havin a good night. Just got home from work here
Hopefully you will install some type of screening/ and or filter element over the intake hose end, to prevent critters from getting up in there.
Yes we plan on adding that :)
Great job guys on the heater installation. Nice and toasty warm now:)
Enjoyed the video. Interesting to see it done. Good timing,with the new truck coming!! 😄
Great video !!
I love all your Videos and I'm about to install the same system as yours except making it more mechanically installed for self services. My truck not as easy to work on under the truck lol. Was so happy to see you two made a vid on this. Stay Safe and Drive For 5. Landstar RULES. Im Separating the heater from my old Tripac just to get some new wiring.
Deutche Connectors were a pain...... almost was gonna find a crimper for them but stayed patient and got them done. New install all done and couldn't be happier.
Wow yet another great video from you guys. Jason reminds me a little of myself and when he starts a job will just keep going (no matter of the time) until it’s done. The new owner of your truck is going to be so happy with all the extras you guys have installed it makes me want to move from the uk and buy it from you 😂😂
Thanks a lot
Hah, Santa's helper is SHARP!!🤡👻😝
Great job and thank you for sharing all that info .
Great job!
Thanks!
I tried to search the part # for the fuel pickup tube can you send me a direct link? Thank you and keep moving forward!
Is that fuel pickup tube working on any semi fuel tank-Volvo?
Good job on the installation of the heater system there Jason but the only thing I saw that i would've done a little bit different was running the exhaust tube more away from my fuel tank on the truck itself other than that it looks good there and now Jason will be burning up all the time cause heather will be staying warm while in there asleeping have a great day now and I'll be waiting on the next video from you guys thanks too
Chinese version is less than $200 and a very reliable unit tested by many in the US
We tend to not like supporting g rip off Chinese versions of anything. Gotta do what you gotta do though when originals cost so much
NOT FIRST... I do have other things going on when I get the Alert..
Hello am a husband and wife team from Dallas looking to start with panther doing straight truck is there any owner that you would recommend and could give the info of the owner you guys use to drive for thank you
We would recommend Hyfield they seem to have the best trucks and methods to make the most money. Here is a link to schedule a interview with them. If you need help or ever have any questions feel free to email us at TheCraftyTrucker@gmail.com

Thank you
Love your vids keep them coming. Safe Travels and have a good one.
Thank you
It was a good video, thanks guys, and new truck?.. looking at the truck I thought it was the new one :)..still looks new!
Definitely helpful. Made me finish the whole video. Just have a safety concern about the fuel line. It's long and exposed. It can be damaged by flying debris or melted by external heat source. Do you know if espar provides a protective jacket or a more robust fuel line? I'm going with this system in the future.
Not sure they offer a stronger fuel line. We installed a second one on a van and we used a fuel line protector sleeve just to be safe. Most auto parts store carry sleeves for hose
Yall are going to be toasty😁
Great install
WIre: Is there a ridge on one side that is on the two wire cable ? It is common to see the cable marked by a RIDGE side.
Dogs were Pissed Off at the end for not letting them out with you to be included, lol.
Lol
The ONLY video I’ve found with the newest Espar S2-D2L that has the two wire power ground cable and not the three wire. Very helpful for those of use that get headaches reading schematics. QUESTION: the fuel pump wires are both green...can you just attach them to the electrical plug in either position? In other words, is there a polarity issue or not? Seems like one has to be + and the other - or the pump won’t run in the correct direction.
Sorry this video was a year ago. From what we remember it did not matter which was connected. If you contact espar or Michigan or esparparts.com they will help answer this. They are very helpful folks
Great job Jason.Always helpfull✌
This is at least the third espar heater install video I've seen where they cut the intake and exhaust holes with a spade bit. What a weird trend
Use what you got right? Saves you 600 installing yourself
Well Done!
Hello from the high desert of New Mexico USA 🇺🇸, I've been installing and repairing diesel air heaters for truckers, boats and RV's for over 20 years now. First off let me say that I think you did a good job of installing your heater, with that said I do have a few tips for you, run your hard white nylon fuel line inside soft clear pvc tubing to protect it and dampen some of the noise, please get a fuel filter to go between your pickup tube and your fuel pump, please get a air filter for the intake, please get a muffler and mount it vertical with the drain hole facing down and some where in the middle of your exhaust system but make sure it's the lowest part of your exhaust system. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Keep up the good work and stay safe and God bless you and your family
Lots a great tips thank you very much
Jason has his long jeans on.
You know it’s cold when he’s in pants lol
Lol it must be COLD
Y'all are just *so* industrious!! Questions, though: Is there enough distance between the fuel line and the exhaust? Also: Are there no ferrules to insert into the fuel lines where the clamps are? Enquiring minds wanna know!! ;)
It said to leave at least an inch from the exhaust. Have not had any problems. Nope just the black rubber and hose clamps.
Great job great info and I think even I could give that a go lol
Me neither on the connectors!! I see the pups!!!👻 The Boss has spoken!! almost heater time!! AHHH yeah,u lost a tool BOX!! LMBO , anyway it was a good video. Is it warm!!!👍
Lol thank you
I wonder if Jason should have used the yellow teflon due to the fact he is dealing with petroleum
I like it look all doing a good job keep it up
Thank you
I was wondering who you reminded me of and it's matty Matheson the chef you look like his long-lost brother without all the tattoos
Try Grime Boss it cleans everything including paint
thanks
Kerosene for less maintenance??? According to this guy, Espar told him yes.
He states this around the 12:23 mark in this vid

Probably not a viable alternative for you guys unless truck stops sell kerosene, but thought you might like to know.
Hope you all are having a great day. It's rain and more rain in Cincinnati lately but hey, it's also hitting 50 and NOT snowing, so yes I will take this for all of January/February !
I have low voltage issues automatically shut down after 5 minutes what to do ?
Hi Guys. Thanks for the awesome video. How come you never showed the moment when you turned it on and got heat?
Great video informative
What kind, and who sprayed your foam insulation under the floor outside?
Hi dear got that equipment but the switch with a screen shows I don’t have that one but I got other controller that I can turn it on or off but the only thing I could run in when I turn on my key to left side or on positions not even crank the engine or either when the engine is running I mean truck my question is ok to turn my key to left and turn that bunk heater on dose it kill my battery if I turn it on any idea or what’s the drain voltage thanks 🙏? I appreciate you if you respond me back God bless !
...oh, those tools ! Lol
Perfect video. Detailed. Love it. One question though, the wire you attached to the battery had a fuse, which fuse did you put in it? I got two in the little pouch they sent me, a 15 and 20, so was kinda confused. what would the 15 be for? thanks
I have the same question....did you solve this mystery?
