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

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.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
