Last winter I was doing a little camping about 100 miles from Dallas and
on my return trip I had the heater levers adjusted as best I could to try
to get a little heat into the front cabin but as usual most of the heat
was going out the rear duct at the floor facing the rear cabin area.
While climbing up a few hills with rough roads I notice a clinking sound
and looked back to see several DrPepper cans rolling around on the floor.
I intended to stop and put these cans into storage before continuing but
somehow just didn't think about it.
Well you guessed it! About thirty miles down the road when the engine got
nice and warm and the cabin was warming nicely one of the DrPepper cans
exploded front the heat coming out of the rear duct.
It went off like a cherry bomb and sprayed DrPepper all over the front
cabin and that is where I was at so I just had to sit there and take the
hot spray until I could pull off the road.
I gotta say! My cooler doesn't slide around anymore. That DrPepper is a
really great temporary adhesive if applied to your carpet properly.
