A/C is working fantastic!

[Hardwareman]

Since no one has started a thread here yet I thought I would be the first and say that my A/C is working extraordinary since I changed out that damaged/worn clutch on it.

For all who don't have A/C......I feel your pain.

Depends where you live I guess. It's just something else to go wrong in my opinion.

Didn't think AC was a big deal ----to I got to be 45 and then at 50 got to have my COLD AC-----can't live without it:

If you live anywhere but a polar desert, A/C has a significant use. Even with the heater on, it's a very efficient dessicator.

only time of the year where i notice that it is kinda stupid for ford to have built my truck with out an ac but i get all of the benifits of not having one when it is time for acceleration.

Umm, your air conditioner turns itself off when you mash the throttle. You get the same power with or without it.

my a/c is mid-way through being converted into on-board air...so i guess you could say it wasnt essential to me.

i never used it as a/c (of coarse, it only worked while i lived in alaska). i did notice a slight decrease in defroster performance without it, but i still dont have any problems keeping the windows clear.

ive got 3 vehicles, all 3 have factory air, and none of them blow cold

my 88 blows out the vents at 38 degrees

Have you converted to 134A...I would say not! I can only dream of 38 degrees with my 134a system...but I won't pay for R-12 and Freeze 12 isn't really the same.

 

[baddis]

yes it is 134a but it only blows real cold going down the road if i am in traffic it only gets to about 50

Lot of truth in that! You start out yanking the AC to save weight and go faster, and after a while you realize it's an essential life-support system.

MAKG's got a good point, too. The AC is important in keeping the glass from fogging when you're in the defrost setting.

Any vehicle I buy must have A/C. It's one of the few requirements a vehicle must meet in order for me to buy it. I drive all day long at work (usually around 70-100 miles per day), and most of the company trucks don't have A/C. I absolutely sweat my ass off all day long. Not only that, but I don't even like driving with the windows down, especially on the highway. Way too damn noisy and you can't even hear the stereo. When I drive my own truck in the summer, I almost always have the A/C on.

My main requirements for a dd are A/C and cruise, and so far by chance the largest available engine. My Ranger doesn't have either A/C or cruise, but I may hunt down a condenser for it when I put the 289 in, for some reason it has everything for A/C there but that.

I yanked the AC out of my 92 a few years back, and never really missed it.
Untill a few weeks ago when I bought my jeep and had AC again. Now I dont know why I got rid of my ac in the first place.

I can only get mine to go down to about 52 degrees. But when it is 95 and humid, 52 is just fine for me.
