Newb intro/ind. heater

[The Stretch]

I've had my 540 for a little over a month now, and I want to say thank you to everyone here for helping me through a slew of work to bring her up to speed. (all by using the search button, imagine that! ;) ) Now that I'm out from under the hood (for a little while at least), I can work on paying back this great comunity. Oh, and does anyone know how to figure out if I have the independent heater? I set the vent on a 28 deg.F morning and no heat. It would be nice to know if its there before I try to troubleshoot....

Thanks
