"That would explain the extreme difference of max ac and ac when its blazing outside... "

In a lot of vehicles max ac draws its air from inside the cabin, re-cooling the already cool air. The valve is a common upgrade on big rigs.

^^^
Why would you try and suck the heat and humidity out of exterior air in an effort to keep the cabin cool and comfortable?
Each pass through the evaporator is an improvement.

Good morning gents and than you to Aaron for keeping us on track.

My son had a good time helping my yesterday at work.

Greg I bet the brakes fell great.
Did you flush them also ? It also can help a lot.
If you need a flushing setup I have one you can use.

I cheated on you guys yesterday. Met up with a few guys from the f150 forum. DEFINITELY a different crowd. They were nice enough guys, mostly younger. They had no idea what to think about my old truck, haha.

Headed down to The Stone House in Guilford for brunch with the lady in a few hours.

Hello from Afghanistan.

Being I'm eight and a half hours a head of Conneceticut, I was sitting pat.

I legitimately could have started this thread at three thirty in the afternoon your time.
