Yes, I have an after market heater installed in my fully enclosed UForce 1000.  Door windows do open slightly for ventilation. Can't really compare it to the factory, but it works very well once I had all the hose fittings replaced due to leaking antifreeze fluid. Installer used plastic fittings that were garbage but they replaced  each one with brass at no charge and I'm good to go. I questioned whether or not I made the right decision to even get it this past summer.  I did not have the heater turned on. The inside of the cab got so hot from engine heat  through the plastic behind the seats, my initial thought was " I may not even need this heater in the winter"!! Well I finally a chance to test it during the hunting season and not only did it keep the front window defrosted, it kept the inside of the cab comfortable. Engine heat didn't seem to be a factor. I'll either have to take the front and rear windows off in the summer or add some heat shield to the engine side of the plastics. If anyone has found a solution to engine heat in the summer... please respond.   Ed

Any chance you could post a pic of where they tap in to your coolant lines I have a few thoughts but good to see where works

A lot of the heat comes from the clutch vent once them clutch’s get warmed up it blows right out under the seat

Funny you would ask that. I'll try to post a pic as soon as I get it back from the shop. Had to take it back today. Checked it out this morning and found it was still leaking. Shake my head.  Not sure how to get pictures uploaded to this site but I'll try.

You might be better off tapping into that clutch vent heat.

You know that's a hell of an idea. Surprised no one's thought of that. It's most always above 120F.. 160+ is common...even in the cold the winter. Just flapper-valve it and dump it in the cab.

Wish they would have done that to mine! Got it back today and every plastic fitting has been replaced with brass. No antifreeze leaks so far but I didn't have time to really put it to the test and to be honest I'm not convinced the problem is fixed. If anyone knows how to post a picture from an I phone to this site please chime in. Thx

i have the INFERNO cab heater in my uforce 1000.. works great.. came as complete kit.. took me around 4-5 hours for install. should have been less.. but im just picky on routing.. making sure hoses and such are not on bind / rubbing on anything.. not a bad job to do tho,, i also added the second thermostat inline to make alil more heat.. so far so good, really heats it nice. i have factory full cab,, just put on the KFI 72 inch plow also..

I also have the inferno on my 21 uforce 1000. Works great. Make sure you get the inline thermostat where you t into the radiator hose or else it takes way too long to heat up. Install is kinda of a pain just because of the tight quarters trying to get under the dash. The wiring harness was not plug and play for mine for some reason the plugs were different so I had to splice some wires
