So I took off the hearter parts of my parts car and cleaned them all up and painted everything did the drivers side and decided to try it out..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) tempeture was about 60 outside last night and after running a few minutes the vent was putting out a weak 72 hardley any air movement. the flapper bos is working and in good condition and the dual fan blows out a fair amount of air, but it doesnt seem to make it up front... on chilly mornings and evenings I want some heat and defrost... this wont cut it in my opinion... what else has been done??? I had a crazy idea of a power inverter, and hair dryers behind the speakers, anyone done anything like this??? I have seen 12 volt hair dryers... what else has been done????? or what am I doing wrong ???? I know I have read many complaints about the heat but I had no idea it was that bad...

That might be right if you were measuring the temperature with your car idling in the driveway. If that's the case it should be better when you are driving. The exhaust pipes should get hotter, transferring more heat. And you'll get more air movement from the engine cooling fan overriding the too weak heater fan.

AT IDLE if your missing the small lower aluminum flaps -or they are stuck open, you will push the air meant for the cabin into the doghouse(?). without the proper operation of those flaps the direction from the (auxilary) blower fan won't end up in the cab. higher rpm should overide the aux blower though mike |
