hmmm well f me, its def the first one. I guess I just didn't pay attention enough and just took it for granted seeing the cold range on there.

Is it a huge job to add it to the 7.3 idi's or is the ducts and stuff already in the truck, you just have to add the ac system inside and add the parts in the engine pay or what? I tried searching but their isn't to many threads on doing it to the 7.3 that I could find.

Or because I have the wide radiator will I have to switch out the core support, and to a different radiator that I see in alot of the trucks with AC, etc?

Thanks

That is a sweet old truck. I love the old red and blue dash boards.


Not having AC is a real drag, you should sell that truck quick.

lol im sure someone would swallow the pill and decide its worth their time

But if I sold it id want 8 grand out of it, I dont think I could ever replace it; atleast as clean and mint as what I have now.

will it be pretty easy to install like a kit is made, or is it something im going to have to piece together? Its winter here in KY so luckily I wont need it for atleast 4 or 5 months so I guess that gives me plenty of time.
I live in KY also...About 3 hrs away...Up in the Salyersville area..

I figure it can't be any worse and much more work than the damn rear main seal. But either way I gotta have AC and I got a good 4-5 months so I guess I can take my time and just do alil at a time if it was really that bad.

Thats the same way around here which is why I had to spend over 12 hours just driving there and back to get it and I left as soon as I got off work thanksgiving night to go get it.
