    Over the weekend, I followed the tuts and cleaned out/blew out all of the debris. Assembled everything again. This morning same situation, turning on the defrost (or heat) just fogs up the wind shield.

    CLogged/Broken Heater Core??

    It must have something to do with the outside temp and the temp inside the cabin, as this only occurs in the cooler mornings - ideal times to have heat/defrost - and as it warms on up no issue. Confirmed this a short while ago, at 630 this morning the heat would just fog up the window, now...

    We have had a cool past few mornings and in the drive in, I have wanted to turn on a bit of defroster/heat. Well anytime I turn on the defroster for my front windshield within seconds of cutting it on my entire front window is "filmed over" similar to what happens to the bathroom mirror when...

    I had a local part store overnight the correct part for my vehicle to the store and just picked them up and had them installed in less than 5 minutes. Turned on the lights and worked! But I noticed that when I turn the switch to where the parking lights should be, it just turns on the...

    Head Light Question

    Glacier Explorer - yes that is 1,000 times better than my set-up! I am def going to order the new headlight assembly for both Left and Right - and will either replace fog lights or add additional lights. But now thinking about it, if I add driving lights as opposed to replacing the fog lights...

    Head Light Question

    Thanks for the images, I like that set-up. Lights are WAY brighter than mine!!! If I can remember when it gets a bit darker, I'll cut mine on and snap an image so you can see how scary it is for me to be driving with them.

    Head Light Question

    I know the feeling the plastic on my turn signal pins holding them to the vehicle are broken. I removed the screws that were bolting the broken plastic down since it is no longer connected to the actual assembly and pushed the assembly as close to the vehicle as I could and used some good 'ole...

    Air Compressor "Siezed UP"

    OneofMany - Do you mean the compressor itself or the compressor clutch? (just so I am clear). The compressor clutch will spin, then turn off, wait a few seconds then spin, then turn off again. The actual compressor itself I was unable to turn at all.

    Ball Joint Replacement Question

    So I finally did the ball joint replacement and things went very well. The only question I have left is, when I took the ball joints to be greased they told me to get the explorer aligned. Do I need to get my explorer aligned after doing this?

    Air Compressor "Siezed UP"

    Someone told me that the oil that is in the mix, might lube it up well enough to get the compressor spinning again. So I thought I would give it a shot.
