I felt your pain until I read and followed these instructions. I used to think I got it figured out, until after I got out of the shade and into the sunlight. That sun is like an x-ray machine. https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/in-detail-9-easy-steps-to-streak-free-windows/

Are you able to drop the pan and have a look for anything obvious? I had the exact same symptoms on my 47re with less than a thousand miles on a fresh rebuild. The transmission shop neglected to tighten down whatever this actuator type do hickey is. A bit of vibration and a few bumps and this piece...

Cant get attachments to work. The units are basically heater cores in a metal case. They of course require supply and return engine coolant hoses and 12Volt supply for the fan. Shouldn't be too hard to find on google. I believe they're popular for use in tractor cabs. Perhaps try tractor supply...

Couldn't get the attachment to work. I'll try again

Any chance you can run coolant hoses to the cab with out too much trouble? Perhaps you can temporarily rig something up like this, until you replace your heater core. There are plenty of others out there. I can't think of anything else that would work. Good luck

All joking aside, unfortunately there's no easy way out. Big Papa hit the nail on the head. I know that the dash has to come apart, the evaparator has to be removed along with all the purging of the freon, vacuuming the system and then getting to put it back altogether again. Oh yea, almost...

Now you just have to figure out the defroster.

It didn't take long to get the hang of it. At first I didn't press hard enough, because I thought it would be too aggressive. Just keep checking for smoothness with the back of your hand. My paint felt like sand paper before using it. Actually works as advertised.

I ended up replacing the brake light switch to extinguish the ABS light. I can't understand the connection or theory behind it, but as weird as it sounds it worked for me. Curious to see what you find. Good luck

I've had good results with this: https://mothers.com/collections/paint-care/products/speed-clay-2-17240 As far as keeping it lubricated, you can use it while washing your vehicle, with your favourite car wash soap and water. As with all clay bars you just have to rinse often. Good luck

Just went through this with my 97. I did exactly what Iron Duke II did, replaced the brake light switch. Problem solved. I always try the easy stuff first. For the price of a brake pedal switch it was worth a try for me.

OK Didn't realize that. How about something like this? It does away with the power steering. https://www.lislecorp.com/videos/suspension/40100-hub-remover/

Is this what you're looking for? https://www.genosgarage.com/product/lc38210/tools

Oh my goodness. You and Big Papa are good. If I have a hard time finding a part, I know who to call.

If I remember the story correctly, Amzoil was being sued by Pennzoil, because of the similarity of the name. The late Al Amatuzio Sr. just flipped the "Z" around and "Amzoil" became "Amsoil". That seemed to satisfy the judge, although Pennzoil was not amused. Perhaps, John Holmes (very...
