Can-Am Defender HD5 / HD7/ HD8 / HD9 / HD10 (2020-2025) Ice Crusher Heater

A heater for the Can-Am Defender HD5 / HD7 / HD8 / HD9 / HD10, 2020–2025

This Ice Crusher heater kit is built specifically for the Can-Am Defender HD5 / HD7 / HD8 / HD9 / HD10 — not a universal heater adapted to fit. It puts 14,600 BTU of engine-coolant heat through 6 adjustable vents, including dedicated windshield defrost. The heater unit mounts on driver side left of steering column. Because it runs on engine coolant, it makes real heat without draining your battery; the fan draws about what a factory blower does.

Everything is in the box: heater, vents, hose, fittings, hardware and the specialty tools the install needs, with picture-rich, step-by-step instructions written for the average do-it-yourselfer. Plan on four to eight hours depending on experience.

Order during business hours and it ships the same day from Minnesota. If you get stuck mid-install, call 888-964-0135 — tech support is unlimited and free for as long as you own the heater, and the warranty is simple: tell us the problem and we fix it.

Fitment note: Also fits Defender MAX (crew) models, 2020–2025. Choose 4 Seat at checkout so we pack the longer coolant hose.

MaxStat - Inline Coolant Bypass Thermostat Option:

All heaters in the industry perform as a function of how hot the coolant is and how much coolant is flowing through the heater core. As the radiator cools down the engine, it causes the engine thermostat to close, which cuts off all coolant flow to the heater core. The MaxStat adds a secondary inline thermostat (180F Standard) to the vehicle’s coolant system, which diverts coolant to the heater core when the engine thermostat would otherwise have closed down. Essentially it eliminates the thermal cycling that affects almost all heaters in the market. Optional 192F thermostat is available if requested before shipping.

• MaxStat Size: 1" (26mm)

Hose Clamp Off Pliers Option:

Make your heater install faster and easier with Ice Crusher Hose Clamp Off Pliers. These clamp off pliers will keep coolant from pouring out of your vehicle when tying into the coolant system. They also keep the majority of air from entering the coolant system dramatically reducing the effort required to remove air bubbles later. It will fit all ATV and UTV applications and great to use on radiator hoses. Kits are sold in a pair.
