Arctic heater

[riprock01]

I have the opportunity to purchase one of the original arctic cab heaters(minus controls and exhaust tube) I have an original arctic top m715 that came with the stock heater. Any advice?

If you are talking about the fuel fired heater? Know in advance that they get super hot, super fast. They work amazingly well in other words.

It is up to you about if you want a gasoline fire inside the truck with you. That is the only real choice.

I believe those arctic gas fired heaters for the cab are pretty hard to find. Some parts are the same as the ambulance rear compartment heater, but others are different.

Snap it up, and if you don't want it, you could easily sell it later.

I probably wouldn't use it my truck down here in Texas, but it would be a nice addition to the arctic package. (My current plan is to run the arctic top during the winter and soft top/ no top during the summer)My dad had most of the parts for a gas heater years ago and wishes now that he would've kept them. I think I'll probably end up buying it and adding it to the collection.

Make sure it is a gasoline fired heater. I have 2 or 3 of them I have collected over the years. There are also multi fuel fired heaters and diesel only heaters.

Then, as mentioned above. Make sure it is a passenger compartment heater. There is the already talked about ambulance heater in gasoline. The CUCV diesel fired ambulance heater, the M109 multi fuel fired heater. Plus the gasoline, multi fuel and diesel fired engine coolant system heaters out there as well. I have the arctic heater system for warming up the Gasser M35. It has a heater core that goes under the batteries to keep them warm.

The important part is the fuel nozzle. If it is bad, bad things can happen to you when you hit the power.
