Well, I always love going to the lone star state on vacation
(Don't mess with Texas) and I thought that this time I would be in comfort with the new A/C system from Old Air...well, think again
..this thing is barely marginal at best. You guys in central TX know how the weather was and this thing would barely keep the cab tolerable. I have a completely insulated and very tight cab. Imagine how the not so nice trucks contemplating this system would fare. Needless to say I am thoroughly disgusted with the performance of this A/C. It is nothing more than a $1,000.00 paperweight. It is operating properly it is just that the surface area of the evaporator core is much smaller than the original one was so that is the biggest downfall. It is not that it does not do its job it is just the demand on the system is much more than it is designed to do. I mean afterall, these guys are in Ft. Worth for crying out loud. You would think that they could design a system that is demanding of their own climate!! Sorry to rant guys, but, I was expecting more from this system. Any of you who are wanting to add air to your truck, do your homework first. Those of you who have an original POA system..KEEP IT ! Convert it to 134 by adding a bigger condenser, better compresser and a POA upgrade but by all means leave it in the truck. I am sorry now that I did not go with the factory system
Which of you folks have an aftermarket system? How does it stack up? Am I the one who is full of s**t!? Maybe it is my system and not yours. Please let me know what you have done to make your A/C work like an "air conditioner" and not a cool fan.
Oh yea, crossing the Arizona desert at 3 in the afternoon...might of well have rolled down the windows
I realize that I am picking up alot of radiant heat but the A/C should be able to (if sized correctly) to compensate for the added heat and help dissipate it somewhat. Sorry for the rant but I need some help here..
Thanx!
