P1000 Universal heater

[Montecresto]

Next came my duct and control location. This is a short run remember for less heat loss and less air flow loss. For those of you in Reo Lynda that’s “more heat”. The control that came with the unit is a simple off, low ,medium,high swith witch comes with the unit. I conveniently installed it in the middle, easy to reach and pretty much out of the way and more importantly not taking any more room on my dash up. Those of you with accessories switches know what I’m talking about . The vents are a simple 3” vents that swivel like most pickup trucks have. The kit that I bought from summit as well. You can use the kit but I found that that was a waist of good cabbage and I’ll show you that later. Just buy the vents ok!View attachment 97761

I’m loving this!!!!!

I installed the heater on a 45 Degree angle under the seat. Most have them either perpendicular or vertical like the Honda heater. Again, I’m trying the least amount of bend in my duct for optimum air flow. You can see the 2-3” holes cut for the duct for later. I hooked it to power with a 15amp fuse for protection. I bought some 5/8 hose , clamps and a few fittings today. Unfortunately my 2 local parts stores did not have and as usual were know help getting fittings. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough, there fumbling was a waist of my time and we’re starting to bore the hell out of me. So I will go to Menards tomorrow to hopefully get what I need for completion.

Might note: I put the heater in an angle also thinking about ease of repair and more return air movement for the motor witch is vital to all blowers to keep your amps down to stop overheating and early replacement

They make an electronic coolant valve you can use to bypass the heater some or completely in the summer had it on my 700.

I’m going to use some 1/2” ball valves I have on my service truck. Manual, always work quick and easy. That would be great for someone that wants to use a switch. Cool little contraption.

Its a variable valve , functionality like the ball valve. Works like the Cool to Warm in a car had mine where I could reach from drivers seat.

That looks good. I like the under the hood option. I just have too much other gibberish under there.

And the brevity of the water lines and ductwork.

What is your impression of the directions that come with the heater? Also, will you be posting a complete list of all parts and accessories you have/will purchase to make installation complete?

Monte, you sounded like the press at a press conference with that question lol JK.no, that’s ok.
They suck actually lol. There is some explication on some things that is crucial like directional of the hoses for the heater core. Now the 9” unit at witch I have, it dosnt matter so that was quick. The switch has a diagram on how to wire it (needed) but the rest is useful but not helpful in application. The second part to your question is yes, I plan on a parts list and will do my best with it.

You will like the short runs and heat will rise. O riley or napa had a lot. autozone was worthless on the fittings. Gates has 5/8” molded hose to help with routing to your coolant . I am in town today and can stop by the hardware store if you want a part number to order off the www

Thank you that would be helpful. My small town has a car quest and a Napa, neither one had hose bins or large fittings. Just some vent hose stuff. They all looked at me like “were never asked that” lol. Napa’s always had stuff like that when I was at ROUSH. Anyway, I’m headed out sometime this morning to Menards for some things, maybe one of the other stores in the city may have them if you have those numbers.

 

[OleRed]

Menards didn’t have much for 5/8” fitting. I think I have just the hose you will want since it looks tight squeeze behind your heater. Do you want T fittings to have a bypass route for summer use or just 1/2” to 5/8” to step up from stock oil cooler lines

The T’s. I’m going to bypass it for the summer. I’m thinking of some 1/2” ball valves to isolate it. Did I splice at the 2 coolant lines in the engine compartment under the seat?

 

[OleRed]

I originally had the bypass route but my awesome amazon valves leaked so i cut the bypass route out and just created a loop... essentially just extending the line coming from oil cooler to heater then heater to water pump. leaving stock hose at each location and using 1/2” to5/8 adapters (part numbers coming soon)
