39 Baby Mack Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There are adjustment sleeves built into the middle of the control cables to adjust the throw to the different doors.If the cables aren't broken and are still fixed on the control head "I've seen them break off of there too" you can usually get some more movement from the cables by turning the adjustment sleeves one way or the other (either shorten or lengthen the cable).Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34388-mh-heater-motor/page/2/#findComment-235668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes I saw the adjusters but the cables are broke and the dash control is worn out. I know it sounds crude but im going to drill a hole and put a choke cable in to control the heater/defroster door. the truck is a mutt. Not much to look at.

TommyZ Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You laugh about the auxiliary heating systems...About 100 years ago as a kid on a job site in Middletown, Ct. there was a contractor with a few old B-61 bombers running on -site only placing material. One older black gentleman in particular drove one and it had no heat...sooooooo he took an old Kero-Sun kerosene heater and removed the passenger seat, and bungee corded the heater down to stay warm.The best part of this entire story ends with the visual of him sitting in that old B Model, cooking a can of B & M Baked Beans on the heater...that ain't no lie either! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34388-mh-heater-motor/page/2/#findComment-235771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have registered it as an RV if it has cooking facilities. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

ws721 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I always thought that's what Peterbuilts were for?! Use them when the roads are dirty so I don't get my Cabovers dirty.
