HotShots

[blackhawk29]

i installed one on my 08' H2 and it worked great for a while, then it started going crazy and shooting hot steam at the windshield at random. Then one day it finally went nuts... hot steam came out of the washer nozzles, from under the hood, and it burned up the nozzles and the lines ! Now the washers don't work at all....i thought the truck was on fire ! which would not be a bad thing these days considering the re sale value.....

I've had it installed for 4 years with no problems. When installing just make sure you have a good ground or it may not work properly.

As far as I know, there is no solltuion to date. They told us to pull the fuse in our Tahoe and told us the comapny had gone bankrupt after the massive recall.

We have had no issues so far.

Many people have a much cheaper, and....I consider better, solution. Lengthen the lines that go between the squirters and the pump and wrap them around a coolant hose. Some use copper to do this. From what I hear it works awesome, and is more efficent and simple since you arent introducing additional electrical load and more components to fail.

Whole point of the system is to have instant clearing of snow/ice on windshield. If you need to wait for the engine to warm up so you could squirt your fluid, might as well gotten your lazy ass up and scrapped the windshield in the first place.

I dont see anyone needing the heated fluid after your already up to running temp...windshields gonna be warm at that point.

Well, I bought a unit from JC Whitney. I've bought some good stuff from them before and I've also bought some junk...We'll see. Looks like it's pretty decent quality. Pretty easy install, system automatically detects the flow of washer fluid so there's no switch that needs to be installed anywhere's. I'll take some pics of the system and post after install.

MUD: I guess you have never driven in really cold weather...i mean really cold, like in the mtns of wyoming or colorado. Even with the defrost on full blast the wipers and window can ice up. Heated fluid solves that issue, thats the main use for it I was thinking of.
