              I dunno... I've not fitted an amp I bought in 2009.

              I've sold the truck and bought it back since then!!
              More Lift.
              More Tyres.
              More Engine.

                    heater switch

                    There is also a fan switch up front, and the floor carpet is a different shape.

                    I kind of lost interest because it got warmer again... but I've always hated how you are melting at the front, and the back is cold!

                    Not such an issue now I have remote start

                    I'd be interested to see how you get on! I've heard that the pipes can suffer from corrosion...
                    The 3rd Gen does not have a rear heater switch up front, it's only the one on the back of the console box.
                    I'm pretty sure the carpet will accept the heater - at least I hope so!
                    I already have copper pipe ready to replace the always corroded twin pipes!

                    UPDATE: I have heard that fitting copper pipe can cause galvanic corrosion of any aluminium parts (head, radiator etc.) Has anyone any experience of this having fitted copper pipes to the rear heater?
