Flex-a-lite 640 Mojave Heater
From Flex-a-lite
The Flex-a-lite Mojave heater is designed to simplify the task of providing heat and comfort to your ride. It eliminates the need to locate hard-to-find parts, or go through expensive rebuilds to get old units in working order. The Mojave gets its heat from the hot water in your vehicle's cooling system (just like an O.E. unit), but has the advantage of fitting into a wide variety of confined spaces. Its compact size, ease of installation and operation make it the ideal replacement unit.

Great heat in a small space
We put this heater in an old soft top Jeep and it's amazing. Most days here in Colorado we have to turn it down to medium once the engine is warm. The install was pretty easy too, it took us longer to get the old heater out. Highly recomended.
Manu defect
Would have given it a higher review if I didn't have to fix it first. Flex a lite put the motor fan assembly in upside down, reversing the blower. Works great....now.
Mojave Heat for the rear seat
I purchased this heater in order to provide additional cooling for my small block V-8 (addition of coolant to the system, as well as additional heat transfer) and the added benefit of providing heat to the passengers in the back of my FJ40 off road Toy. The unit was too large to mount in the back, but since I purchased the plenum box, I was able to mount it between the bucket seats and aim the 2 1/2" duct to the rear. This has worked out well. My first outing included many hours of steep hill climbing that would normally stress the coolant system, but I was able to crank the rear heat on high (noisy, but drowned out by the V-8) and keep the temp. down to 200 - 210. The unit seams very sturdy and I feel it was a good value.
