    A/C problems

    Ok I read both your posts but im not sure what to think. Could someone confirm that it runs in all modes for my model? The one in question is a 1996 XLT I would check with my 93 but I removed the A/C. And if it does run in all modes, won't it make my MPG suffer since its on? Thats what...

    Could this be an electrical problem? or something as simple as a fuse? Or perhaps my whole A/C system is fudged up?

    A/C problems

    Alright heres the problem. The A/C will be on in all modes except for the one that is left of the off position which is when it blows at your face. All other settings the A/C compressor turns on (I can hear it) and the air will be freezing cold if I have it on cold. If I have it on warm I still...

    a big drive ahead

    my 96 has 200,000+ miles on it, and I make a trip from San Diego to Canada every 2-3 months. All I do is keep its maintenance up and it gives me no problems at all. And tires, make sure you got good pressure and the spare is operational. Don't want to get a flat and put on another flat.

    **Long story, don't read if you have ADD or bore easily** Well I took a road trip from San Diego, CA to Surrey, B.C and back. The trip there was uneventful, there was no snow anywhere, the worst weather I saw was in Portland which was a little drizzle. I just had my Silver Star head...
