Thanks Bill. Yeah, it took a while, but I finally found one I liked. I'm hoping to take it to Tower, provided I can get a few heater hoses changed out and a set of new belts located, purchased, and installed. I know what you mean about the rain! I'm beginning to think we're all gonna need...

Thanks for the compliment Armada... I just got my truck about 2 weeks ago. The reason it looks so nice inside is because it only has a little over 10k miles on it. It's certainly not due to any goodness I did to it, that's for sure! :) The truck came from Alaska, which is why it has the...

No idea. They were there when I got it, and the seller didn't know either. But I suspect my Bride will claim one to use as a purse hook :roll: :)

What no pics yet? How about this... I'll post a shot of my dash to help get you in the spirit: (pay no attention to the red light between the seats :lol: )

Just in case you need another "mustache spring", they can be had at Antelope Valley Equipment: http://www.avettruck.com/ I went through about 3 of those clips when I had my deuce, and they always had them and the "C" clips too.

You guys might also want to check out the San Diego MVCC. Granted, they're still a bit South of the L.A area, but they always seem to have a lot going on. http://www.surfacezero.com/sdmvcc/

While still on the subject, does anyone have any idea where I might find the screw on cover for the lower light socket on the control box for the arctic kit? I have the upper one, but the lower one is gone. It's got what I believe to be orange lens on the end, and screws onto the bulb...

Well, I do know that this port is made to receive the "Swingfire" heater. If you're not familiar with them, it's kinda like a kero heater with a long probe on the end. You fire it up, insert it into the plug on the fender and it warms things up. But it seems like it's a redundant system, as...

Hi Mike, I have one close up pic of the swingfire heater port (that's what it's for, don't know for sure what it's called). Pay no attention to the dents! :( As near as I can tell, this isn't a standard part of the heater kit, as it's laid out in the install manual. I've only ever seen...

:lol: How did I know that was gonna be the next post! OK here goes.. first, this is the best one I have of the truck right now. The sun was going down, and the truck was pointed in the wrong direction for a good front shot. The second pic is a shot of the engine compartment with the heater...

Thanks for the info Guys! And thanks for the compliment on the ol' FFN. Wish mine looked that way right now, but it will someday... And BTW, the strangest thing happened on Saturday... an arctic heater equipped M1009 followed me home and decided to stay! :D Thanks for the help everyone!

Here's a little larger version... scanned from the front page of one of my manuals....

That was my thought exactly. All the extra insulator stuff might have a negative effect on cooling. But I see where you're coming from with the oil cooler. That engine isn't air cooled, so there shouldn't be any reason why it would be any different with or without. I looked for any warning...

Hi, After looking at the archives, it would seem there are a few folks around here familiar with the CUCV Arctic Heater Kits. I have a question about them in relation to an M1009. Apologies up front if this is an obvious question... Would the simple fact of having the arctic heater kit...
