The defroster problem is well known. It may even mention it in the owners manual. The reason is because the heater is a heat pump. It takes quite a while to get hot air. It is best to turn on the heat and defroster for some time before driving the truck. Once everything is war...

My 1997 still has the big sticker on the dash, near the glove box, warning you to pull over before you turn on the heater/defroster. It warns of excessive fog on the windshield so I'm guessing what you have is normal. That said, I have never had fogging in my truck. Kevin McMu...

Hi Pat, When I purchased my truck, one of the problems it had was a bad HTCM. I found the unit sitting in a puddle of water under the driver's seat. My truck has a vinyl floor liner (not carpet), so any water that gets under there will remain there for a long time. Cleaning &...

Michael, Glad to hear your truck is up and running again. I had similar problems earlier this year. What I found is that the heater created a moisture problem in the cab when I tried to defrost. Also think there is a water leak somewhere in the cab. The computer that controls...
