I have parts missing on my coolant heater.

At some point in time they must have done away with the coolant circulation pump shown in the TMs for my 8x8...

What parts are you missing, I may have something?

The concern about the exhaust fumes from around the engine when heating the oil pan is real IMHO, if the cab is not air tight or has "positive" pressure from the personnel heater.

Love the thing, just needs a little operator training to be safe.
