What Heater?
What heater/defroster are you guys using in your 47-53's? Any factory type units work good? Thanks.

Re: What Heater?
The factory deluxe heater works pretty good. But there some issues. First is the control valve. It is hard to find a good core to have rebuilt. Second is that it always vents fresh air. There is not an easy way to make the vent so it will close.

Re: What Heater?
It's out of an 88' s10. I didn't like the fit on the firewall, but I can live with it for now. You have to move it vertical to fit. The inside is not bad, however I lost the glove box. As far as how it works, very well.

Re: What Heater?
I'm thinking of trying one of these units from Flex a lite.
http://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-a-lite/400/640/10002/-1 They also sell this diffusor, but for the price, and the way it looks I'd probably try to make something myself. http://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-a-lite/400/650/10002/-1

Re: What Heater?
stan3018- I just checked out yogisinc.com. Units look very small and compact. Now I wish I would have waited and went that route.
