OK, so I took my truck in for AC issues a couple weeks ago to the dealership. Sometimes it blew cold, conditioned air, sometimes it blew warm, humid, unconditioned air. The tech checked it out and found the refrigerant was low so they recharged it, and could no longer find an issue with the compressor, compressor clutch or anything else, but he put dye in the system to see if there was a leak. Well I got my truck back and noticed it still took about 5 minutes of driving before it blew cold, dry/conditioned air.
So, I went back to the dealership and asked to speak to the tech. He told me that was normal in all the newer trucks due to the new refrigerant they were using. Since mine was low, he had to refill with the new kind.......F'$#!@!!! He said it's an issue in all the newer trucks because of the new refrigerant being used, so I'll need to remote start my truck about 5-10 minutes before I go anywhere in the Summer to allow my truck to cool off. He said it typically takes about a minute for the blower motor to kick in on the newer trucks as well.
What kind of BS is that? For those with newer 21+ Ford trucks, is this true????
So the tree-hugging EPA mandates restrictions on freon to make it "Greener", which in turn, makes me need to burn more GASOLINE longer while idle, producing more emissions, that "affects" the environment, to cool my truck to a comfortable temp and make up for the "greener" refrigerant...........have we lost our minds?!?!? The "scholars" and scientists in some of these industries sure have! Common sense is hard to find these days!
