[QUOTE="MostHelpNeeded, post: 4141531, member: 66806"] To all of you saying that AC wouldn't work or would be useless.....Really!? Has this company really brainwashed you that bad? While I half ass-edly agree that it wouldn't cool down the [I]entire [/I]truck, to say it would do nothing is asinine. Just having one vent on the dash blowing cold air would do wonders. Think about it for a minute. Might not cool off a large enough area, but it'll def. cool down what's in front of it. No one's looking for a climate controlled environment; we just want some relief. Think of it like a fan, but not just blowing the hot air around that everyone complains about. As for the impracticality of cooling the back... It's not that big of an area, and really not hard to do at all.
