Figures, when I don't double check I say something wrong.

3rd down on the diesel is airflow to the front, on to the right, off to
the left.  4th is supposedly air to the rear (fresh?) - off right/on
left? (different faceplate than the gas ones)  Mine doesn't do a whole
lot.

3rd always on 4th always off? - both to the right.

Will in Alaska.
