Re: How effective is Vintage Air in the Blazer?

However, I currently have a 5000 BTU window A/C mounted in my slide in camper that I can run off a generator while I drive, so the duct modification has gone to the back burner.

It should be noted that the effectiveness of the A/C and heat will be greatly improved if you properly insulate your truck. I added fat mat everywhere inside the tub and doors, carpeting over that, and heat shields on the firewall inside the engine bay and tranny tunnel, and between the muffler and floor. This has helped a lot.
cleszkie, any chance you can expand on the "heat shields on the firewall inside the engine bay and tranny tunnel, and between the muffler and floor." part of this? Pics?
