Here is the valve I plan to use to restrict coolant flow when heat isn't needed

Hoping to do this much cheaper than Honda can

Has any body put the OEM heater on their rig?

That should work just fine. I was considering doing this til I discovered how warm the seat gets without a heater lol.

Nice. Subscribing. Can you post costs and part numbers too?

Back in my racing days, AutoZone had a small heater core for like 10 bucks but can't remember what it fit. I was going to do an electric water pump with remote radiator on my bike. If you could find that, get a blower motor/shroud from a junkyard, along with a switching valve, I bet you could build one for less than 40 bucks or so.

I inherited this heater. It came with my Sno-Cat that I bought a few years ago. Red dot is kinda top of the line marine application heater for boats I looked it up a while back I think it was around $350. If I was to buy one, I would use one from napa they have one in there agricultural line of products that I have put in the trucks at work for the crews to dry their tools and rain gear out with. They only run $100 or so and are pretty much the same thing as the one I have. Just made in china

Is that 24volt?

No 12v on high it draws 10 amps. On low it's 4. I should be putting it in my Tucker. But the pioneer is more fun

What would you guess dimensions on that approx? Are you going under the seat or behind dash?

The Tucker makes me money this time of year and the Honda cost me money. Here's a pic of it when I brought it home from paint this summer.

I had to go bid to justify the local utility companies waiting to rent it out during storms. Plus what's better then a cooler full of beer and 6 of your buddies all acting like kids up in the snow

That's b****en! Really cool machine. Eltogbi Tiger and I were just talking something along those exact lines in the thread first snow. I guess we'll have to all make it your way you have the real deal

I think that you are a little more centrally located. We have been wanting to get into the Rockies some time. Our snow is nothing like your snow.
