    interesting SH405 armored 404/S Unimog

    I dont mean to seem pessimistic about this but I sure hope they added some additional power somewhere in this vehicle, the last thing a 404 needs is more weight to move around!

    Heater Blower Location

    Like Cattlerepairman said its way better to mount the entire heater assembly inside the cab and it fits very nicely on the passenger side under the glove box! I looks so much better and its not in the way of any work you doing under the hood!

    REV overheating - normal?

    First thing I would do is check out the thermostat and make sure its functioning correctly and opening all the way? If that checks out start looking at the cooling lines and radiator, cooling fans etc. Overheating is to my knowledge never a normal situation!
