Jack and others,
First, thanks for all of your replys. Many of you are impressed, or at least
satisfied with your A/C performance. I think I will be going to my dealer.
On a related note, I notice that when I hace the A/C on for a while and it
does finally get cool in the cab I can notice cool air comming out of the
outside door handles if I get in the truck with the A/C on. I also notice that
I can feel a pressure change in my ears when I open and close the window and
the fan is on full. Is there any way to have problems with the discharge
vents on the cab? These seem to be a passive component. Any thoughts?
Drive Safe,
Joe
