HAOLE Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I had the A/C checked and the tech said the pressures were fine. The truck will not cool down when it is at idle. The A/C just blows hot. As soon as I start to drive the A/C get very cold.... any clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 pressures may be fine but you can still have a low charge. have them suck it out and recharge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgtp Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Does the truck have a electric fan? If so that fan should run when the a/c is on. If it doesnt run, thats your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 pressures may be fine but you can still have a low charge. have them suck it out and recharge it. plus 1 on that. or you could have a weak fan clutch. ei not pulling enuff air sitting still, causing head pressure to rise and kicking the compressor off.

Thank you guys for the help!!! Gearhead.... What does it cost to pull the r134 and recharge it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 if its just the front unit system its around 200 or so.thats evac, dye ,r134 , recharge, and full system check, and leak tests. best bet is too call and speak with donny or mike, and tell him you are from here(to make sure he figures your discount in) and ask. I really dont do pricing. I just fix it...lmao(normally when they leave, i get my dash temps under 40 degree range) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 before you spend a bunch of money go to the self help car wash and clean the condensor real good it might just be dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAOLE Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 before you spend a bunch of money go to the self help car wash and clean the condensor real good it might just be dirty I have a power washer at home... I will try that first. If that is not the problem, I will check into the fan clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 it won't be the fan clutch, you may have a slow leak at the rear evaparator. they are really common on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
