    I got rid of my 2500 HD diesel because I bought it to tow my 8400 lb trailer and we havent towed in a couple years. That truck ride as a daily vehicle just wore me out.

    Defroster Blower Level Sometimes Changes on its Own

    On a different engine and vehicle I had issues that turned out to be a leak in a vacuum hose that controlled the vent opening. In that case it was a pretty easy fix.
