if/when i do mine, it will be run on a dual setup, it will be thermostatically controlled, however i will also have a switch, not sure exactly how i will have it setup yet, but probably have a 3 way switch so i can shut it off entirely if i need it to be... mostly for racing at the track, to reduce the drain on the battery, and on the engine through the alternator, but seeing as i don't race my ranger, i may just have a manual "on" override, so i can have it on while the thermostat says it's not that cold, incase of malfunction
