I purchased this vehicle in April with 135,000 miles on it. It currently has 140,500 miles on it. We just had our second baby and I quickly realized I need a bigger vehicle. This truck is truly my daily-driver – I’m a construction project manager and travel to jobsites 50+ miles away on a...
I too had / have this problem - but ONLY after driving down the highway for more than two hours (for some reason).
I've tried a few things so far:
1. removed the drain tube that goes through the firewall - ran a pipe cleaner up through the drain hose and drain fitting on the evaporator...

I've never replaced front nor rear pads on any of my vehicles....how hard is it??? I'd rather not pay my mechanic if it's that simple. Is there a tutorial I'm missing on mud somewhere? Also, how do you know when your rotors need to be replaced?

I'll throw a clamp over the fitting tonight and see what happens - I didn't think of that - duh.
thanks!
and yes, i'm in Sarasota, FL - a new addition to the 'cruiser family (and very happy with my decision). What mechanic do you trust with your truck in this area?
It hasn't rained here in 3 weeks but it's been hot and humid. I noticed the other day after a long drive that the passenger floorboard was soaked - and can pretty much deduce that it's A/C related.
I have not noticed the typical drip in the driveway. I just opened the hood a few minutes ago...
I did search this but couldn't find the answer. Real quick and we can let this one die - will 285's fit on totally stock 1997 80 without trimming or rubbing?
