    My 04 turns on the AC with the defrost, so did the 01 I used to drive, both base-level economy boxes so actually wait what the hell have you been driving?

      Do people understand the difference between FROST vs FOG?

      • Frost happens in the cold, best mitigated with gentle heat.
      • Fog happens in the humid heat, best mitigated with air condition cool dry air.

      FROST != FOG

        Defrost handles both, dude, with the AC/heat two-punch pointed directly at the windshield. The heat raises the temperature of the glass so that water won’t condense there, and the AC reduces the water content in the air overall.

          None of that stuff works when you inherited a truck that’s missing the blower motor, entire passenger side dashboard, and all relevant passenger side ventilation ducts.

          Yes it’s a shitbox, but otherwise runs great. Just no luxuries, no air conditioning, due to no blower motor or half the ventilation system. Also the heat only works while driving, also because no blower motor.

          At least it’s otherwise reliable, plus also has manual roll down/up windows.
