It contains, power seats, power pedals, power windows/locks, auto dimming mirror, two tone leather seats, black interior with cherry wood, overhead computer, electric 4x4 switch, dual climate control, heated seats, infinity stereo, it even has a plug-in heater for the engine(which is not diesel), and much more. you can also find windshield defrosting mesh on newer ford's.
Does that thing also have an electric as_s scratcher?

Yeah, what model you have doesnt have to do with that. I was looking at a base model 2003 Chrysler Van that had that and I got the idea to put it on the Ram and run it off the heated mirror circuit. Also, its called an engine block heater.
There's an HVAC box on these trucks? Do you even know what HVAC stands for?
Heater Ventilation Air conditioning?
You sure about that?
You want me to go and make a video in the 27* weather for ya? Mister California. Whens the last time you HAD to use your heater anyway?

Used the heater today. It's freakin' 47 degrees here.

I checked and the A/C compressor does come on with the defrost setting, but it only cycles, it doesn't stay on continuously. Damn new-fangled vehicles!
