Heres a good one,
Winters here so last week I installed my winter front on my 07 duramax. I'm on a road trip and its below zero Celcius outside and I'm feeling alittle chilly in the cab so I keep cranking the heat up, then I look at the Outside temp gauge on the rear view mirror and its reading 44 degrees above zero celcius, meanwhile I'm driving past lakes that are frozen over:Do No: .....
I'm thinking what the heck then i remember a buddy telling me a few years ago when you install the winter front on the duramax it screws up the outside mirror temp gauge.....ya right i'm thinkin. Anyways I thought I'll put the temp controller on "auto" and guess what the air conditioning light comes on:spank:
My take on this is..with the factory winter installed, the inside mirror temp display thinks its really hot outside and so it adjusts the heat inside accordingly..by putting the AC on. I called the service guy at the GM shop and told him my story and I think he figures I'm nuts:bla:
So the winter front is off now and low and behold my truck is warm inside.....sometimes you just can't win.
I think i know what the fix will be but I'll wait for the high paid P.Eng's to send me the updated winter front, or show me where to cut the hole in it..:idea2:
