<p>I didn't know there was a difference, and wouldn't know how to

<div>Any chance you might have the high output, very rare,
optional heater intended for northern climates? The stock TR3
heater output is only about 5000 btu's with coolant temp at
185F or so. </div>

<p>For years I've read here about the TR3 heaters being
deficient. Up until last year, I really couldn't tell,
as I had never finished my side curtains. However, last
year I did finish them, and used them in freezing
weather. I learned why you need to have the sliding
windows.</p>
<p>My heater (original) performs wonderfully.<br>

had a question for the list. I'm just not
getting as much heat through the Marydane
(sp) replacement heater in tr-3. Temp guage
shows 185 degrees but temp through heater is
warmish and I can grab with my hands the
heater hoses going into the heater. Checked
flow and everything out and I'm pretty sure
its the heater valve on the block. It's the
faucet type with the green round handle.
I'm thinking the inside broke loose and its
closed.</span></font></p>
