Re: Deluxe heater upgrade

I beleive you need to upgrade the heater core. The deluxe heater has a larger core.
I tell you that I just serviced my deluxe. I installed a new blower motor and freshen up the rest of the unit and this thing cooks. I can not wait for those cold mornings!

Re: Deluxe heater upgrade

you will pretty much need to change out the whole unit... check out the thread I recently posted " all about heaters" for some pics and more info

Definitely worth the effort! Not sure how cold it gets in Iowa, but up here, it routinely drops below -30C. Deluxe heater keeps the cab warm and windows clear.
