Cool
« on: June 14, 2009, 10:53:11 PM »
I had the wonderful pleasure of being out on the trail this last Saturday (the 101) without A/C. The last time I was my rig, the A/C worked pretty good.... but it wasn't all that hot out. But being in a black vehicle in sunny, +27*C weather... I was melting. I know that you who drive the Wranglers will be thinking "ahhhhhhhh.... poor Immortal". But that is why I got an XJ.... for the creature comforts.
Topped up my freon (no, not that DURACOOL crap, actual R134a).... now it is frickin' cold in there. Supply air went from 114* to 65* in 2 mins. Cab temp went from 114*F to 80* in 10 mins. Let the cool times roll.
Sometimes I am happy I am an A/C mechanic.



That was my happy project of the day.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!

Does it really count as DIY if you make your living doing it? Maybe technically, but traditional "DIY" normally onvolves a fair amount of cursing, learning through trial and error, or supplementary trips to get parts/tools/first aid supplies that you didn't expect to need.  ;)
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
