Coldmaster is providing a replacement fan assembly. that is who I...

    NEW AC installation

    Well aware of where the blower is, and I am well aware as stated earlier that the plastic housing for the blower is broken and caused an issue as detailed above that caused it to be one speed "HIGH" and also was causing it to blow fuses. So due to it being broken as the photos above detail it...

    Common HMMWV Questions from observers....

    Stopped at the Grocery Store yesterday afternoon, the Security guard when I walked in the door. "HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET A HUMVEE!?" My response in very much my fashion...
