Defroster
Does everyone's defroster suck or is just mine? The thing hardly puts out any air at all.

Re: Defroster
They suck compared to later model rigs IMO. Check hoses and check the blower to make sure the hi-speed works. The PO of my truck blocked off the passenger side vent tube, so most of the air goes to driver's side. I was going to fix it, but this way my window clears fairly quickly, and once the cab warms up the other side clears too. IIRC the blowers from an A/C truck put out quite a bit more air.

Re: Defroster
The hoses are all good and it blows strong on the floor and through the dash, but hardly any air comes throught the defroster.
Al, I live about three miles south of Morrow on 22/3 in a subdivision called Wedgwood.

Re: Defroster
Yeah, it should blow pretty hard through the top vents. After I redid my hoses full power is now strong enough to move my sunglasses if I set them on the dash.
