Personal heater for m35a2

[Mullaney]

So according to frank8003 I should still move my other valve as well as the hose to the other location. Is that the consensus here? I'd rather not mess with it since heat now works and I bet twisting it off and on would be a b&*ch. But if I have to do it, I'll get it done.

Something else you may want to consider - IF you watch your gauges carefully:

Ever notice how diesel trucks "wear a blanket" in the winter? Generally a snap on device over some of the grille out front? Years ago I had a Chevrolet pickup that just never would get warm in the winter. Thermostat was good. Plenty of flow in the radiator. Ended up covering about half the radiator with a piece of cardboard in the winter and I was warm and toasty after that. Temp gauge never got above 180 and nice warm air came out of the defroster and heat vents....

You don't want to cook your motor, so watching the gauge and maybe even verifying what it reads with a cheap "point and shoot" thermometer would be smart. What worked for me might cause a really bad day for you - but it is worth a try.

M35 hot water heater

Ok, got myself a complete hot water cab heater kit for the deuce. Got it used, looks like I have everything I need for the installation. I have pretty much figured out how everything goes together, just wondering how to wire it up and run the ducting properly. I have been searching the site and...

That PS magazine is correct. Has simply to do with higher and lower pressures/flows.
It is why I went thru all that trouble to change out the bottom valve in post 13.

If any one is looking for serious heat for in your trucks, i have for sale a Eberspacher V7S diesel fired air heater. These are used to heat full length trailers in Europe so heating a crew cab deuce would be a piece of cake.

Here is a NOS example of the winter grill cover made for these trucks which is currently being sold on ebay. I found that the mounting loops included with the kit are not needed. The hood latches, spring hooks, and tight fit do most of the holding. The military even made a blanket that covers the hood as part of the arctic kit. Here in ND, winter covers and engine heaters should be standard equipment on all diesels. I don't hate myself enough to drive this when it gets really cold though.

I think the inlet is the critical hose position as to Not bypass the thermostat. the return shouldn't matter. My engine warms up, heater blows warm and the return is in a different spot. my block heater is in the water pump housing as recommended by the supplier.
