Aftermarket Heater
This was an absolute gold mine! For all you people who have heater cores that you have to pull the dash looking at huge shop hours.Don’t pay for all that especially if it’s just a commuter vehicle. Very easy install just use the cabin filter void to run hoses and electric through. Took me about hour. Perfect for the really cold areas .

Great Value
Just a heads up, the black grommet looking things on the inlet and outlets with the hole in them.... ya that're actually plugs. Learned the hard way. They're a bugger to get out but they do need to be removed prior to installation. Looked like flow reducer grommets to me and didn't pull out easy so I left them. Once I got that figured out the unit works awesome!

Great for tractor cab
I needed a heater for an aftermarket cab for my Kubota tractor. This heater brings the interior up from 0 degrees to much too hot if I leave it on high. The 3 speeds are perfect for finding that right temp. This heater will definitely work in any car.

Good little heater and easy to install.
Perfect little heater for an old snowcat that had its heater core go bad. Puts out solid heat even on the coldest days and is more than enough for our two-person cab.

Compact and warm
This was exactly what I hoped it would be... amazing and warm on a snow run in a jeep with a bikini top and half doors. Highly satisfied.

Can this heater be used on a John Deere 1025R tractor (diesel)? I would hook it up to the battery. I have a 40 amp alternator.
If you have 12 volt battery power and a water cooled engine than this can be used to supply heat.

I live in northern wi and it gets down to below zero throughout the winter. Can this unit be mounted under the hood and piped into the cab or would there be too much heat loss?
The unit would be mounted inside and the hot water lines will be used in conjunction with the current heater hoses.
