I suppose living in Tuscon, wipers are waaay low on the fix-it list. I used to live in Phoenix, waited until I moved to CT to indulge my passion for western Fords. Had 2 of them shipped cross-country!
Thanks for the info.

Yup. When it rains here, it really rains. It can dump an inch or two in an hour. Usually when the Monsoons hit the temp drops down to around 100 and the humidity goes up. Folks here think it's humid when it gets up to 65%. My wife tells me that we don't know nothin' about humidity.

Humidity and heat
I've had the good fortune(?!) to have lived in several climates: raised in Michigan, lived in Houston, St. Louis, LA and Santa Barbara counties, lived in Phoenix, and now in CT. I still don't know what is worse, the humidity of the East/South with 80's-90's temps, or the 100's in the Southwest during monsoon. I can recall several instances in both Houston and St. Louis where the humidity was WORSE than brutal, absolutely paralyzing, in my opinion. I also remember thinking the SAME thing during a monsoon in PHX. The only differences I can recall is that in the East/South, the temp would (thankfully) drop at night, when it became just heavy and clammy, but tolerable. In PHX, I recall being constantly frustrated because it wouldn't cool down (enough for me, anyway) at night. After being frustrated for a few years by the cost/congestion in LA (no congestion in SB county, but the housing COST was hilarious), I now wish I had stuck it out and planted roots. I would move there first if I had unlimited $$$$.
What's this got to do with fuel pumps? Nothing, but it's fun to reminisce...
