A heater for the Wolverine RMAX, 2020–2025
This Ice Crusher heater kit is built specifically for the Wolverine RMAX — not a universal heater adapted to fit. It puts 14,600 BTU of engine-coolant heat through 5 adjustable vents, including dedicated windshield defrost. The heater unit mounts under the driver seat. Because it runs on engine coolant, it makes real heat without draining your battery; the fan draws about what a factory blower does.

Installation
The heater mounts under the driver seat, out of the way. You tap into the engine coolant and route the hose to the heater; the instructions show every step with pictures. Basic hand tools do the job.
Options
Hose clamp tools (+$24.99): A pair of clamp-off pliers that seal hoses up to 2 inches, so the coolant tie-in stays clean. Handy on radiator hoses too.
Questions we hear
What does the thermostat bypass housing do?
It’s a custom housing that sits behind the OEM thermostat so hot coolant reaches the heater faster and more consistently. It’s included with this kit.
Will it drain my battery?
No. The heat comes from your engine’s coolant, not the battery. The fan draws about what a factory blower does.
How long does the install take?
Plan on 4–8 hours depending on experience. Experienced do-it-yourselfers land at the low end; first-timers should set aside a full day and follow the picture-rich instructions step by step.
Do I need the hose clamp tools?
You can install without them, but they make the coolant tie-in faster and cleaner. They pinch the hoses shut so coolant doesn’t pour out, and less air gets into the system, which makes bleeding the air out much easier. Sold as a pair; they fit hoses up to 2 inches.
