Western Star Truck Issues And Fixes

All of ours have door mounted mirrors. They suck

 

Velvac contacted me. They wanted pics, so they are interested to see what is going on. So that is good.

I prefer the cab mounted mirrors actually. Just wish the chrome wouldn't peel off them. And those stupid lights that you cannot change without disassembling the mirror head.
It's a real pain in the winter cleaning the side windows with the door mount mirrors. You can barely get your you hands between the arm and the glass....let alone a window squeegee.

 

I am having this issue right now, where is the drain so I can clean it??? Thank you sir

 

Where can I find the ac drain??? I gotta clean it, bc I’m having that issue right now lol

 

Look through the metal screen on the intake while in recirc or pop the hood look for the tube coming out of that area on the passenger side and use a coat hanger to poke through the clog.

 

Thanks bro, I got that done. It’s still pooling up water. I can see it. Do I have to drill out the rivets to get behind the screen? I think it’s clogged behind there, I cleaned the drain tube out. Also, there’s two ez kleen filters, there’s another filter behind those. How in the hell do I get that one out? Really dirty.

hi, were you able to find what the problem is? I have a 2019 Western star 5700. I have the similar problem. I checked all my AC drains and they are fine. I got this water between the seats that comes out from that rubber and it smells really bad. please let me know. I can’t even breath properly in my truck.
