Open the hood, open your passanger door or window and with one hand over the vent (with a/c switch on) hit the motor with a hammer or plyers you really don't need to dent the motor just hit it until it starts blowing. This worked on mine for a about...

    Sorry its been awhile my computer has been down for awhile. Thanks for all the help! I found out when I knocked on the blow motor with my handy dandy Leatherman Super Tool that it would start. It worked for awhile then it would slow up, then it would only work when in motion. Bought a...

    Fender trimming for larger tires?

    There is trimming the tupperware. You will usually trim this first. Never needed to trim mine with the 31"'s some people did(stock rims). I trimmed alittle tupperware when I went to 33"'s with the stock rims. I had to trim almost 1"-1 1/2" to get the 33"'s on my 10" rims.

    Spark Plug Help!

    Thanks Trinity is always a work in progress. I found that the part # 42PP is located on the sticker under the hood.(the long one above the fan shroud) Take a look at what it says. maybe the 42C is a sub. Could also be an emissions thing. What is your local Dealer/shop saying.
