Re: 2008 Suburban vs 2000 Excursion AC Functionality

That's some very informative information, DetroitAC. We tend to say an MFG just did a crappy job. It reminds us, or maybe just me. There are factors in all of today's production vehicles. Be it a small compressor or difficulty removing a condenser.

Re: Low side normal /high side low stumped

The problem will be, and I state again. How much do you want to spend on possibly improving the cooling? Any of this stuff will work as far as insulation. But it's not cheap, it may not be enough, and you will need a lot, just for the roof alone. https://www.amazon.com/Self-Adhesive-Heat-Shield/s?k=...

Re: Low side normal /high side low stumped

No one is trying to mock your attempts to find the solution. However, you do have to be realistic about what the system can handle. Therefore, you posted some relevant information in this last post. 114, sounds like Phx temps. No roof insulation that's going to kill performance in this type of heat....

Re: Low side normal /high side low stumped

60f discharge air at idle in a huge vehicle like an Excursion or Suburban is normal at 100f A large volume of 60f air will do a lot of cooling. Again, idle testing. What will it do at 1500 rpm? You are close with the numbers you have. I was thinking the same thing; it's close. 40-degree difference ...

Re: Low side normal /high side low stumped

You don't use a scale with small cans. Just know how much is in each can. Be as close as you can to the vehicle capacity.

5 pages deep, and honestly could not tell what the vent temps are at this point.
