improving heat in 93 YJ
i have a 93 YJ with a soft top. due to monetary considerations, it does
not have a hard top for the winter, and due to off-road conditions, has no carpets either. in the winter, since i'm probably just insane or just very well insulated, i have no problems with wearing a a coat whilst in the driver seat. however, some of my non-jeep friends (no, can't get trade em for 'jeep-friends') have the most common complaint about the lack of heat, especially in the rear seat. i'm not even thinking about those awful ceramic heaters to cook my alternator. just wondering if there are any other alternatives or mods available other than tossing another blanket to the back seat. probably a lost cause, heheheh. -- Ben Jerew ASE Master Technician New Country Lexus of Latham, NY Amateur Off-Roader |

Re: improving heat in 93 YJ
Put an auxiliary space heater using engine coolant in place of the stock
console, or inside it. http://www.jcwhitney.com Keyword Search for "Auxiliary Space Heater" brings up several potentially useful products. These would be a tight fit in a YJ but I am confident you can do it. Please post some pictures when you figure something out. ;o) Earle "MudPuppy1976 <"moc.rr.pacyn"@67lamina" <--BACKWARDS> wrote in message news:7gilb.12211$%a2.5423@twister.nyroc.rr.com... > i have a 93 YJ with a soft top. due to monetary considerations, it does > not have a hard top for the winter, and due to off-road conditions, has > no carpets either. > > in the winter, since i'm probably just insane or just very well > insulated, i have no problems with wearing a a coat whilst in the driver > seat. however, some of my non-jeep friends (no, can't get trade em for > 'jeep-friends') have the most common complaint about the lack of heat, > especially in the rear seat. > > i'm not even thinking about those awful ceramic heaters to cook my > alternator. just wondering if there are any other alternatives or mods > available other than tossing another blanket to the back seat. > > probably a lost cause, heheheh. > -- > Ben Jerew > ASE Master Technician > New Country Lexus of Latham, NY > Amateur Off-Roader > |

Re: improving heat in 93 YJ
What temperature thermostat are you running in the engine??? If it's too
cool, your heater won't put out much heat at all. Make darned sure the correct thermostat is installed... or if you don't know, just install the right one per the thermostat guide book.
