I remember as a kid back in the 70's on cold winter days in Montana with our entire family driving around in our old van, we never could get all the fog off of the windows with our defroster. The old van had no A/C so the defroster was nothing more than the heater blowing on the windows. We kids in the back seat were issued a towel to constantly wipe the windows with when my dad needed to see out Of course that's unheard of today with the A/C drying out the inside of the car Technology can be nice to have.

This AC tip is only true up to a point. This tip is fine for mild winters, but not way up North. Living where it's really cold, many cars purchased were optioned without AC. This is because the heater is often cranked way up and the relative humidity of the air coming out would be way lower than that of the air taken in, therefore it is dry after heating. Also, you would often need to heat the windshield the entire trip even though you brushed the snow and scraped the frost before you started driving.

Here's a little tip to speed up the window defogging. Open all your windows for the first two minutes of driving. This will take the accumulated moisture in your car out of the car. Even if its really moist outside this will help a lot. I like to get as much air moving through my car as I can when I do this. The moving air also defogs the windows. After those couple minutes you close your windows and the heating will start to do its work and it will happen much quicker.

Here in Florida allot of people don't care if the heat ever works but they sure want their A/C. Monday I had a customer with a Volvo Dump truck. The heater water valve was bleeding past so his A/C was only kind of cool. I pinched off one of the Heater hoses and we had proper cooling. The customer didn't want the expense of repairing the heater valve so we bypassed the heater by running one heater hose into the other and now the customer has max A/C cooling at all times.

Keep a can of desicant in your car during the winter, no humidity to ice up your windows esp if your doors are rotted & moisture haunts your car. I got two large cans from the dollar store & put them inside a tupperware can with a bunch of holes drilled in the lid. Purpose of the tupperware is to keep the desicant cans from tipping over. As they work, naturally they'll fill with fluid & you don't want that to spill.

I'm gotta a question for the public, my truck (94 Dodge ram)has a 26 gallon gas tank and about a year ago I had to take it to a local garage to have the fuel pump raplaced because the check valve went bad and it would not prime the engine and now when I fill up my truck it holds between 28-30 gallons of gas, can anyone PL tell me how this is possible? Thx

Scotty that's funny. Long life Antifreeze that's good for 7 years or 150, 000 miles. That's good for most people. I drive over 47, 000 miles a year so it's still the same for me. I do a regular oil change every 3 weeks. Also replace the air filter every 3 months. 2001 Subaru Outback with over 300, 000 miles and still runs great.

My vehicle's air conditioning is remove the doors, remove the top, remove the windows. It becomes a, strap on vehicle that is completely open. I do use this air conditioning in winter. I love being with no doors and roof so much that temperature is no obsticle to me taking off the doors, windows, and top.

Hey Scotty I have a 1996 f150 with 245000 miles. I've replaced the entire cooling system, the heater core, temperature sensor, and thermostat this summer. I have plenty of heat but my temperature never goes past r on the normal and bounces between o and r when it gets warm and driving, what could it be?
