A/c
Guys, i put a new compressor on the truck last weekened to get it cooled off inside. The problem is it is not cooling, just blowing. Any suggestions on what I should trouble shoot?
Thanks Don

Re: A/c
Did you do a leak check with nitrogen and pull a vacuum to 300 microns?

Re: A/c
So is the compressor clutch engaging?

Re: A/c
Recirc flaps closing? Is it even a little bit cool? What kind of pressures are you seeing?

Re: A/c
Check the push button on the back side of the vent at the center of the floor board it's got to hit the switch when you have the A/C on. The cable may not be adjusted just right.
