Temperature and A/C report from Los Angeles

It was hot today, 113*. The AOD tranny was at 180* with the back empty!

Inside the cab of my truck, I was chillin', even shivering. I was in city traffic all day.

I've installed:
o soundproofing and heat insulation under the carpet, in the doors and above the headliner.
o 1000cfm e-fan in front of the condenser
o new A/C hoses and compressor three years ago

My A/C outputs about 36-39* at idle on a 90* day. This is better than my '09 Escape or my '96 Volvo.

I live in Northridge. Simi is always a couple of degrees warmer than where I am in the west valley.

I still can't believe 113* downtown.
