Re: Not sure where to go from here

The condenser was replaced a few days ago, so I would hope the condenser is working properly. I don't think there is a leak, because my gauges have been connected to the truck for days, and every morning when I check the truck before starting it up, both the high and low are at 100psi. When I pulled...

Re: Not sure where to go from here

The pressures I measured were under 1000 RPM (at idle). What would be my target pressure @80F? Should pressures be measured at idle or 1500-2000RPM)?

I cleaned out the coils with coil cleaner, let it dry, and ran the a/c. It was strange that prior to doing this, the only a/c line that felt cold ...

Not sure where to go from here

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for your input. I have an '06 F-350 diesel that's been having some a/c trouble. Gradually, the system started decreasing its ability to produce cool air. Fans blow, but I noticed the compressor was cycling on very frequently (every 3-5 seconds). I could tell tha...
