Does anyone know of a solution? My old heater is out of the Jeep, and I am not sure why. I am assuming that it was pulled out for a reason, so I am just going to get one of the aftermarket units. I am looking at this one

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=4691

Does anyone have any experiance with any of them? I am picking this one only because it looks like it has everything needed. It doesnt look like I have to buy anything else.
Anyone have one? I wouldnt mind seeing one in person before I buy one online. Do they have a shut off for summer? I dont particularly want hot water flowing through the cabin in 100 degree weather.

TIA

Okay, I've never installed one, but I have seen aftermarket heaters in Jeeps. 28K BTU should heat it up pretty good and want you could do to shut it off it just install a shut off from the heater hoses. Just a thought.

OK I bought that one. It seemed to be the most complete kit. When it comes in I may need some assistance in the install.

OK. I should be there.

We can do it here. I have a good sized garage with all the tools needed, if not I will go buy them. Only thing I dont have is a welder LOL.
