Modern accessories, in old machines.

Eberspaecher Climate Control System’s Airtronic air heaters operate like forced air furnaces utilizing the vehicle’s own fuel and power supply to produce heat without idling the vehicle. Heaters operate quietly and cycle through four output levels to provide the optimum temperatures at all times. Units are suitable for a variety of applications but are especially well suited for cab and sleeper heat in class 8 trucks, workshop vehicles, and freight compartments. Airtronic heaters can also be easily combined with one of Eberspaecher’s specially designed controllers for maximum controls and heater function.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Exactly. It’s werry effective and compact system and mine is thermostat controlled and you can activate it with a text message by the GSM unit.

What a great fabrication. So cool. I'm a open air guy on my 16. No cab. However, I will have to put in some bad ass fan action for summer use.

Any problem with gauges Steve?

Want to swap mine out with new SW gauges but my system is 24 volt. I was informed by some very knowledgeable forum members that my 1961 16 if using original gauges were likely mechanical and not electrical so the swap out should be fine provided I stick with mechanical gauges.

Thank you Steve. Understood,

One big one is using sealed and shielded bearings which are pre lubed instead of old felt wick .
Alternator from generator is a common one

On the HD5 starters going to later style M42 and doing away with he mechanical switch and rod for foot application

Hello Coke

Can you tell me what is needed to convert my 16 to an alternator from a generator? An alternator of course. but what else on the shopping list?

You do make it sound simple Morten.

Its working great so not something I am pushed to do but my list of improvements continues to grow here at winter time with little to do on the old girl but plenty of ideas.

Thank you Morten.
