P1000 The Heater Dilemma - Which One

[Papaandhistoys]

I installed the Ice Crusher Heater, over a period of days working on and off. If I would have stayed on it straight it was probably a 12 hr job for me. I like the fact it is mounted under the hood, and the heater ducts are short. I think the return air duct drawing from the cab is a good feature too. I installed the maxstat under seat near the motor. Took a few tries to bleed the air out of the system. The Maxstat initially had a 180 degree thermostat, that I replaced with a 192 degree stat. I have Gen 1 soft doors, and the heater worked fine as long as I was driving less than 15 mph. Any faster and the door tops flex open and pour cold air in the cab. I have Gen 2 hard doors on order and expect that should solve the problem. They are due in next week.

Hey there bud, just wondering what you gained with the 192 thermostat?

Duct tape. It's not pretty but it works.

Just stuck a piece of foam around steering shaft. Have to reposition on occasion but it works really well. -11f here this morning with windchill at -35.. There is no heater that will satisfy your needs at that temperature unless you block holes...

I’ve got three places I need to block the wind from coming in and I think I’m done with it until the spring change over.
need to find a shifter boot of some kind and figure how to close a few gaps around the steering column.View attachment 245400

Just curious what kind of doors you have on your rig.

Honda 2nd gen uppers for me. They work pretty good. I sealed the entire door with rubber gasket seals using plastic plugs every 6” to keep them in place.
