portable heater
phillyeve asked:


I have a 1990 mercury grand marquis. The heater core was about to go, so I disconnected it. Now winter is coming and I dont have heat. I inquired about those $20.00 portable heaters that fit into cig lighter, but EVERYONE I spoke with said they are junk. They barely defog the windows, let alone heat the interior. Anyone know of any others that might work better? Thanks to all.

    FIVE STAR MFG CO 1-888-872-7278
    THEY MAKE AUXILIARY HEATERS
    HOWEVER, WHY DONT YOU REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND BE DONE WITH IT ?
    THEY SHOULD RUN ABOUT $40 FOR A NEW ONE AND TAKE YOU A FEW HOURS AND A 6 PACK AND YOU ARE DONE
