Bad blower motor forced new purchase
I love the heater that I bought 10 years ago. It has served its purpose well but the only problem is when the blower motor goes out. Apparently you cannot just purchase the motor.

As good as it gets
I had a leaking heater core and knowing Jeep’s poor heater performance decided to upgrade. Make no mistake, this unit is totally overkill and I like that!!!

Amazing Product
I bought this a few months ago, to get me through the dreadful winters of Illinois. I put it in my 1983 Jeep Cj7. I literally could have rode in this all winter long with the top off if I choosed. Simple installation, an great directions. Love this product.
