Re: Suburban A/C fix + Vintage Air?

I think it is the lowest recorded temp, but it does not tell the whole story.


Trip was great, we had an Adventure for sure.
AC worked as expected. In 100 degree temps, you have to be moving pretty good to keep the cabin cool. Since we were off roading, I ending up turning it off and rolled the windows down for the really slow stuff.

We climbed a goat path to get to the top!






Then about two miles from the road:


How many plys did YOU buy?



THEN when towing the potties back (full and stinky):



This is what you get for using an "old tire" for your spare!

Shredded!


Luckily my buddy was around and we towed the flat to a tire store.



Gorgeous though!


Turns out that 15" tires are not very popular.
This place had some used tires, and I got one, to get the truck on the road, then went back and hooked up the other so I'd have a spare...


Back on the road


Sooo... to answer your question, yes the AC WORKED as expected!
Here we are cruising past Sacramento, and it was hot there!


Got home and made the investment (8 ply Toyos):


I need to sort out some duct work (some of the under dash tubes are not installed correctly or something, but all it, I'm pretty happy with this thing.

Smells like...victory!
