You Know You're an Auto A/C Geek If.... Pages: 12

Shepherd777 on Tue August 16, 2005 11:58 AM User is offlineView users profile

This is along the lines of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Know You're a Redneck If....

The first "You Know You're an Auto A/C Geek If...." I have is:


You Know You're an Auto A/C Geek If....

You always have a thermometer in the Vent of your personal car to constantly monitor the Vent Temps.


Anyone have any more?

... if you read this forum daily even when you have no problems with your AC.

... if you turn on your a/c in the middle of winter just to prove to your buddy that it still has a full charge.

If you hear a clutch rapid cycling next to you at a stop light- and look over and it is a ______ model car- and you know what is wrong with it without looking at it....

If you see a car load on a hot day and the windows are open- and you know the year of the car-- a 2001-2002 Uvan- condenser failure!

-------------------------
The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......

... if you place an ad in the newspaper which reads,( Will do MVAC repairs for free, any condition,make or model)

You're the only one you know who enjoys a conversation about about superheat, subcooling and saturation points.

You own an infrared thermometer.

You use liquid refrigerant to cool your beverage.

Your garage has more different types of compressor oils than motor oils.

You have a large inventory of dead compressors.

My gosh... we can go on with this one... Shepard777, why'd you have to start this?

May I join the fun? You are an AC geek if:

Your condenser fan rips off the clothes of pedestrians.

Compelled to use recir on a 40 degree day.

Have rerouted your engine exhaust to heat the condenser so you can use your AC in subzero weather.

Have to drive in reverse because your condenser is blocking the windshield.

Required to use an ice pick as an aid to remove your passengers.

Jumping at any new product that promises a degree drop in vent temperature.

Have to return Chick's penguins to the south pole so they can warm up after riding in your vehicle.

Or when someone gives you a lift, you produce a temperature probe from your shirt pocket, place it in the centre vent, frown and exclaim that "Next time, I'll drive!"

LOL Good fun topic Shepherd
