Need help from the cammander cab heat

Sounds like a big improvement in reducing cockpit temperature.....and on the flip side, we try for more cab heat

Us land locked people are not lucky enough to have the refreshing air coming off of the Pacific, so we bake in the summer. I am glad the K&T black box worked to reduce the heat in the cab. I have also added some Thermo-tec FR material to my machine to reduce the heat transfer to zero and lower the engine and clutch noise.

I Wraped The Whole Exhaust System,..With Thermo Wrap,...(I Used 2 50 Foot Rolls One On Each Pipe,..AND I DIDNT CUT IT ,WHAT a PAIN LIKE a HOUR and A HALF a PIPE,CAUSE I'M ANAL) Then I Pull All The Plastic Coweling Off And Lined The Whole Under Sides With Thermo Tec,..Its That Tar Like Stuff With Stickem on One Side And The Other Is Tin Foil,..Its Will Reduce NOISE and HEAT,..I Used Almost Three Rolls,..Think They Where Like 60 Bucks a Roll

You should see a remarkable difference after all of those heat reducing steps!.... I just wrapped the exhaust....we don't have the high temperatures that many of you do, so the engine heat is welcomed in our areas of riding.

I just finished insulating plastic shrouds. I used DynaMat, got it at local audio shop. Easily molds to plastic and reasonably priced $5 sq ft. Tomorrow heat wrap pipes. Then install bilge fan. My friend reverses his bilge blower in winter and draws heat out of engine area into cab area, works well enough to keep windshield defrosted.

Fan override keeps mine good.

I brought mine in and the dealer put in a thicker thermal linner and were he put it it helps alot. were he didnt though it seem hotter . I might finsh putting it all the way up to the fire wall and across the fire wall so it might deflect the heat from the fan when it comes on. the deler also added some foam stuff around the sheifter it took care of the heater vent/shifter no more heat on the side of my face.

Well since it now is 30-40 degrees in Wisconsin I will be waiting until next spring/summer to do any mods to the XT. I am leaning towards the fan thermostat relay addition. My question is what would be the problem with just wiring a switch and running the fan all the time? With the mod it would be running more often, probably 75% more, why not just keep it running all the time. Wire the switch in so that it powers up when he key is on.

I would personally want a thermostat controlling it to cycle when needed....may save on that puny arse battery canam gave us unless you have upgraded to more cca and capacity if you sat idle while BSing the gang.

But nothing wrong with all manual toggling of fan.... a lot of Rhino guys have been doing it for 8 years now.
