Lol. Apparently it is since it went onto the second page.

Also 6 hours is a long drive. As somebody who drives long distances regularly it's still a long drive. I mean shit I drove 28 hours straight once.



But 6 hours is a long fucking drive at night solo, not terrible but def long. 6 hours in winter with no heat in your car what so ever is a longggg fucking drive.




I rocked two hoodies, snowboard pants, warm socks, my jacket, and mittens with handwarmers.



At first I was going no gloves because it was annoying to drive with them and made everything a hassle. But an hour and a half in I couldn't feel my fingers and was struglling to turn. Snagged some handwarmers and things got better.


I found a pile of old cds from back in the day while cleaning my garage a month ago. I had brought a stack with me. So I just listened to random old mixes to nostalgia the time away. Worked pretty good. I didn't fall asleep and drive off a cliff so that was good.


success mission is success.


Oh and cool story hansel

I had my fans go out in my car once so it couldnt blow the heat in my car. It got pretty dangerous after a while because the windshield kept fogging up. bring a fan or something to help with the moisture accumulation.

Most people on this site hate on me. I have my inner circle of friends though. We got each others e-backs. We defend each other to the death in threads.


The internet is a wild place.

Why? That's your own fault for not fixing your heat for a year.

Did your windows fog up, forcing you to crack the windows and suffer through a cold draft? I've had my heat go in the winter twice and this was always the worst problem for me. Cold defrost doesn't do shit.

Exactly. That's what's sketch in the winter. I had a window cracked at one point to keep it form fogging up too bad.


I def wanted to make sure I could see where I was going. My buddy bought a jetta only to find when winter came that the heat didn't work. He used some ghetto plug in heater to get him through the winter. Didn't work bad but I thought he was nuts for goin all winter. He had heated seats though so it wasn't too bad. He'd crank them up to the max and it was doable.

why doesn't your heat work? should be either the thermostat or you're low/out of coolant...both are pretty easy to fix. at least that's what is always been the cure to any heating problems I've ever had in a vehicle.

seriously, the motor is kind of between the drivers seat and the shotgun and you literally have to scream to hear someone sitting over there. but on that day, i was alone in my car.

and i actually had a breakdown. i remember that the last few miles i was just screaming. pretty rare that youre somewhere alone and just scream. lulz

The fan motor is dead. You'd think some heat would leak out but nope. After a few hours of driving it started leaking out enough to keep the windshield clear, didnt do much to warm the car though.


Almost picked up a hitchhiker in vt but I just kept going because I was to just make it home as fast as possible. Hopefully that guy got where he was going.

i had to drive a geo from denver to minneapolis last december.. now geo's radiators are not very big. and when its below zero most of your ride home, you dont have much heat at all. even with cardboard put in front of it, it was very minimal.. it warmed up going through nebraska a bit, but other than that. nope.

To all the people saying, "Why would you make this thread?" - there's 140,000 other threads to read instead! It's NSG. <1% of the threads in NSG are actually threadworthy, so why bother complaining when another one gets made? Don't read it next time.


I stopped reading the thread at this post, so if this has already been addressed, my sincerest apologies.

My 97 Chev blazers heat worked intermittently. I flushed the whole system (heater core included) many times and after each time had heat for about 10 minutes. .... Replaced thermostat, and some hoses and the pump and my rad cap and did some electrical diagnostics. None of this fixed it. In the end I plumbed in a filter head and a hydraulic fluid filter (rated for pressure and heat) onto the inlet side of the heater core. Now I have loads of heat, and the cause was a little bit of rad rust and lots of calcium deposits clogging the fine veins of the heater core. Sucessful idea is Sucessful.
