The stock heater that is used in the truck will work when driveing. And it puts out a lot of heat. Plus it uses the same fuel as the truck, so you do not need to take extar fuel.
The 14are to tall. They are 49.5" the rear axles are only 48" apart. With the 49.5" tires you would have a 3" overlap. You mite beable to force them on the truck, but it would not move very good at all.
