Re: Can an AC Installed make the engine run hotter than before?

Absolutely. The condenser blocks a significant amount of air and in addition, it puts hot air into the mix not just ambient temp and you also have additional load put on the engine from the compressor itself.

How does the truck work with the AC shut off? Is it still running hotter than before? Anything else been changed?
