Magic Spool Bus
SILVER Star
Looking for some advice on where to start.
The Truck:
-1HDT 1991
-PDI Front Mount intercooler (this appears to have had an even more negative impact)
-A presumed original AC system that does work.
Symptoms:
-Struggles to stay cool at idle
-Really struggles if ambient is above 90F ambient
-Struggles at low speeds under 35MPH
The system doesn't have a leak that I can tell. It is full I have confirmed with a bottle of refrigerant from auto store. It was actually past the green and into the yellow? (not sure if this is a negative effect but the can just says it is full and to stop adding). The condesner appears to be original and quite old obviously, I suspect this may be part of the issue. Sometimes it is so cold I have to have it on low and have the temp range adjusted in middle on the console and this is usually on the freeway doing 60mph. Sometimes even with the compressor running and on high its mediocre at best.
Before I buy a new condenser I wanted to see what some of you have to say.
Cheers!
