hello all
i just installed a NOS heater kit in my M35A2, the kit was actually a 5
ton kit my defroster works fine clears windshield ok but due to the the
design of the distribution box right-hand side works better
mitchell you might try checking the defroster vents for junk i found
lots of things in mine including a toothbrush, spoon, paper, wrappers
etc. all would cause decreased output also check to see if the defroster
door is opening fully
