Re: Who has installed the Vintage Air System?

I installed a Vintage Air system in my truck. It works pretty good. I thought that for what they cost it would get cold enough to hang meat in the cab...it doesn't. The heater works ok, however, I live in Southern California where when it's "cold" outside it may be 45*, not what you would call a "cold climate".

I have a Gen 4 system and after only after 2500 miles I've had two problems: first the ECM was bad right out of the box and second the heater control valve failed just a couple of weeks ago. The heater control valve is energized when it is closed, makes a bunch of heat (about 200*-250*) and smokes and stinks when it fails...the smoke scared the crap out of me. Vintage Air was very good about replacing both parts, you just don't expect to have problems so quickly after installation.

Your already small glove box becomes even smaller, I put my transmission controller and digital gauge controller in mine...not much else will fit.

If you don't have a factory air cab be careful when you cut the holes in your dash, the Vintage Air templates are a little off.

This is just my experience.
