Air Conditioning

Complete evaluation of your Air Conditioning system, from the drivers compartment to the bunk, for both mechanical and electrical failures.

Drive Belt
A drive belt makes your truck’s air conditioning compressor turn, which keeps the cooling refrigerant circulating through the system. When the belt is worn, stretched or cracked it can slip or break, stopping the compressor and shutting down the A/C.

Air Conditioning Condenser
Your truck’s air conditioning condenser is located in front of the radiator, and it actually resembles the radiator. Air flowing across cooling fins removes heat from the refrigerant as the refrigerant circulates through the condenser.

If the condenser’s fins become damaged or plugged with debris, air flow is restricted, and refrigerant isn’t cooled. Restriction can also cause the vehicle to overheat. Check the fins periodically to make sure they are clean and in good condition.

Some signs of Air Conditioning Problems Are:

• Wet carpeting on hot, humid days;
• Vibration or abnormal noise coming out of the vents;
• A musty or mildewy odor when the fan is first turned on.
