2016 HRPT! AC problems
I just got back from the 2016 HRPT and the truck ran great. A little over 3000 miles in less than 9 days. I couldn't have ask for a better trip in my truck other than it was hot and I do mean hot! Texas and Oklahoma where in the 100's and the heat index was in the teens a couple of days. My truck showed 120 on the temp gauge a few times.
I ran the most part with the windows down and the AC off. I did run it a couple of times but at night when we went to eat. Only in the USA you can cruise the country in freedom! The last picture is the scan gauge straight off the ECU showing water temp and trans temp both at speed with AC on high. The water temp even in traffic in high 90* temps never went over 190* all week. The only problem I had was the AC not cooling as good as I wanted. I got that took care of today. After talking to Orignal air group yesterday I had the system drained replaced the orfice tube. The tube was clogged up with gunck and while I had it a part I changed out the acumalator as well. Both had been in the truck for close to 20 years. Refilled the system with oil and 2.6lbs of 134a freon and it was nice and cool driving home. It's nice having a cool truck!

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
