Coincidentally, the next day some guy put his entire collection of 8-track tapes up for sale on Ebay, including a rare copy of 'Smell the Glove' with the original sleeve cover art.

Red Green has been at it again. They killed the show but not Red.

Thread:

Hey CR4 members.

I've got me a real puzzler.

About the only thing that still works on my car is the AC. Yeah, she blows real cold.

Well, it's been real hot lately, and I'm noticing that I'm not getting the cold air out of the center vents in my dash like I used to. I'll get my cousin over here to help me send a picture of the dash.

You guys got any ideas?

Don't know your make or model, but presuming it is not the obvious mechanical lever at the dash port, it is probably the duct shutter (vacuum or electrical controlled) staying closed. Can' rule out a varmint or other duct blockage/leakage either I guess!
