How warm does your cab get?

[Varty Yo]

I always knew cruisers could be not the warmest when its cold out, but i had my rad/block flushed on friday and realized my heater control valve was pretty much seize 1/2 open so i tapped it with a wrench till it was wide open. Wow does she get warm in the cab now haha.

It was -10c outside and i got the interior up to a balmy +23c. It takes awhile to get flowing from the 3B but once its warm its great haha.

your funny temp numbers make no sense to me...but a 2f will produce plenty of heat.
the heat these make was one of the selling points they held over the cjs.

Yes it's great when your on the trail and a snow storm rolls in. My rear passengers always like the rear heater.

Warm enough I have never installed the heater in my 64 fj45, but the defrost would be nice.

I normally shut off the heater valve on my 67 pickup, it still blows a bit warm but the small cap takes very little to keep it warm

Never measured... But the heat from the front heater feels like it'll burn your leg when driving in shorts without the roof. My rear heater has melted lines in the side of a pair of my daughters rubber boots.

With the roof on, it'll get plenty warm. If my weatherstripping was better, I'm sure it's cook passengers inside.

Yes its really nice to drive in the winter. My old 67 would be parked from nov-may haha. It didnt have weatherstripping anywhere haha.

Cant wait for the first blizzard of the year.

It was 29 F this morning and the heat was flowing in the first mile. Mine gets plenty hot, but we dont have a lot of really cold weather here in SC. Rebuilding the heater box, flushing heater cores, having the proper thermostat and gaskets, plus a new heater control valve may be helping mine

Mine got very heated, very quickly after my wife and I got going...................
























And all because I asked her to put the toilet seat up after she finished!!!! Go figure.... =

Alright, a little humor. Back on subject, not sure of the temp, but my ankles get very toasty, and quickly might I add. I typically just keep it on defrost, but my rig sleeps indoors.

 

[Varty Yo]

my heater only will allow vent or heat the defrost setting doesnt seem to work. I bet it needs to be taken apart and cleaned/fixed

Varty, it was amazing how much crud was packed into my heater box. A vendor or two sells a rebuild kit that has new foam and some small parts. I think it would be well worth the effort to rebuild it. Especially up in Canada.

 

[Varty Yo]

Yah for sure looking into a rebuild kit right now.

Not very warm at all this time of year. About 15 degrees according to your funky thermometer...j/k

I had to deliver a 78 cowling to a shipping facility 3 February's ago in Waterville, Maine, Windchill was at -30 degrees F. I had thermals and my ice fishing gear on and froze my a..../butt especially on the interstate.

I used to live in MA as well as VT and now back to NY and most days I don't even bother to turn on the heat ... by the time the truck gets hot I'm already at my destination

I usually live close to work .7 miles is not a long drive

A buddy in VT drives without doors and sometimes no top ... in January ... the one guy I can always rely on to tell me to suck it up and stop pissing in the wind

I cannot imagine driving without a top and doors in January

 

[Varty Yo]

I was driving my 67 around with no doors on in winter it was a blast!

Toastie warm
Although coming into Summer here (in Australia), it's more about trying to work out a way to defuse the heat which the car puts out.
