    The winter is coming!!!! Yep, it is september only, but winter is soon, so I got cab heater. It was bad, so I got it free!!! YEAH!!!

    It is AT5000. I made a remote controll tor it and got glow plug fault code. The problem was in MOSFET switch inside control unit. I fixed it easily and did test start on bench.

    Ok, now I wanna fit this monster in Century Class ST cab. So any tips gentelmen.

    Ouh! I wanna install separate tank for cab heater, becouse when it is really cold diesel fuel is like a gel and we use to fill cab heater tank with aircraft jet fuel and add some (up to 30%) of jet fuel in diesel fuel.

    The normal place is under your lower bunk. intake to one side, exhaust to the other.

    Cascadia's has it in the desk area with a chmney exhaust comming out at the top bunk (working vertically)

    I have the AT2000ST and my intake is to the side of the cab and the exhaust is to the rear. You do not want to pull your INTAKE air from INSIDE the cab, in fact it explicitly states it in the instructions.

    You say about air intake of combustion chamber, I say about air to heat intake, 3" hole with grill, inside cab. Heated air outlet is 3" too, but no grill.

    about 1" air intake to burn fuel and 1" exaust... yep, I will do all the way you say

    Yeah, i thought you were talking about the other way.

    I have mine under the pass side bunk as well. It pulls plenty of air from inside the compartment and I do not have it routed or duct'd any special way.

    Aha, like on DAF and MAN trucks. Mercedes install it on early trucks hidden by driver's seat, on newer - in box, outdoor.

    I wanna install under lower bunk.

    What the truck do you have? mine is Century Class S/T
