Sorry, I am not at home and don't have the part # that I used with me. I can post it when I get back home but, it will be a week. I leave it on during the winter and then put vacuum to it to bypass in the summer. I have not done anything to control it from in the cab though, I have to get out and lift the hood. | | |
