Probably going to get the AC worked on next week for the Z. When I was considering transfer to my new office I was told that my vacation would be transferred over once I transferred and after it was too late to cancel it they then told me that they weren't going to let me take my vacation. I'm sure many of you remember all the times I've mentioned that I hate my workplace and my job. But, I got off because boss failed to return paperwork. They told me I have to be there anyway but the labor reps are saying it'll be easy to win if they wrongfully refused me pay

The 02 express van we have with a 350 in it has the coldest A/C I've ever felt. Condensation will build up around the vents and actually start dripping on the ground, depending on how humid it is outside. It'll run you outta there honestly

I'm hoping I don't have a small leak somewhere. I shouldn't because I've replaced everything, but it's still possible. I'm pretty sure the system has 3 full cans in it at the moment.

Next time buy a can with UV dye. Even if you can't fix it, it will save a step(hour labor at least) for a shop. I member my Vette just needed one $5 o ring. Luckily at the time I had access to a bunch of pro AC repair equipment though.

 

 

I'm not sure the compressor is even cycling on the Camaro, so I'm just hoping I can get the UV in

I may not need to. I drove it around today on a longer trip and it was really cold. It seems to get really cold after I drive a bit. Idk, seems odd.

 

My whole system is new. Every seal is new. Only thing not replaced was the condensor. Like I said I guess it's still possible that it could leak.

Clutch or efans?

E-Fans

E-Fans

Weird, mine was ice cold with the efans even at idle

Yea it is weird. Maybe I'm just being too picky.

[SnakeEyeSS]

Well it's subjective to the person also. You might have a lot more tolerance for cold.

I just charged one up the other day - had 45° vent temps at idle, fan on high, all doors open, 85° ambient. Better than my 900, at least at idle.

That would explain why I'm always hot and my Fiancé is always cold. Lol!

That could be debris between the condenser and radiator, a dirty, buggy condenser, or a bad fan clutch or non-op E-fan.

Just drove a new 6.2 that a friend has as a loaner

Well I know both E-Fans work. The one works when the A/C is on and the other will run at idle when the trucks is sitting for a while with the A/C off. Maybe the condensor is dirty? I should have had it cleaned when I had the radiator done. Edited June 19, 2016 by Daryl Z71
