Phillips & Temro / Zerostart Cold Weather Solutions

When the temperature drops, your engine’s reliability shouldn't. Phillips & Temro Industries (PTI), through their legendary Zerostart® brand, is the global leader in thermal management solutions for heavy-duty trucks. These aren't just accessories; they are essential survival tools for your fleet during winter.

A cold engine is a vulnerable engine. Cold starts increase internal friction, drain your batteries, and put massive strain on your starter motor. At Fast Lane Truck Parts, we stock the complete line of Zerostart heating solutions to ensure your Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, or International starts on the first turn of the key—every time.

The Zerostart Advantage: OEM Performance

As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for many major truck brands, Phillips & Temro components guarantee a perfect fit and factory-level performance.

• Engine Block Heaters: The industry standard for overnight protection. We stock threaded immersion heaters and freeze plug heaters that warm the coolant directly within the block, keeping your oil viscosity stable and your cylinders ready for combustion.

• Circulation Heaters: For extreme climates and larger engines, upgrade to a Zerostart circulation heater. These units thermally siphon or pump warm coolant throughout the entire engine, eliminating cold spots and providing instant cab heat upon startup.

• Silicone Pad & Magnetic Heaters: Versatile heating solutions for oil pans, hydraulic reservoirs, and fuel tanks. These easy-to-install heaters prevent fluid thickening and ensure critical lubrication flows immediately.

• Cordsets & Receptacles: Don’t let a frayed cord leave you stranded. We carry heavy-duty, weather-resistant replacement power cords (Y-cords) and bumper-mounted receptacles.

Why Pre-Heating Matters for Your Bottom Line

1. Reduced Engine Wear: 90% of engine wear occurs during cold startups. Pre-heating lubricates critical parts instantly.

2. Fuel Savings: A warm engine reaches operating efficiency faster, burning less fuel and reducing "white smoke" emissions.

3. Driver Comfort: No more idling for 30 minutes to get the defroster working.
