I would die without AC. I dont know how I made it back in the 60's and 70's without it. Same with home AC. We did not have central air in our home until like 1980 or so. I giess we used a lot of fans.....lol

Buying tow hooks^^. My wife complains about AC in the 99 diesel, (slow leak every year). I'm running her to the big city on the
interstate for the 19 mpg's and she complains about her hair blowing with the windows down. I don't think I've ever checked
it on the 98.
Anybody use AC anymore? Keith

I use AC (but more often windows down). If the lady is in the car/truck, then I do the AC for her. Personally, I like the wind blowing on me when driving.

I came to the conclusion about 30 years ago that life is too short to not have AC in a car or truck.
I will not buy a vehicle anymore unless it has air conditioning already in it unless I'm getting one hell of a deal on some vintage tin, like when I bought my '74 MGB.

Can you even buy anything built after about 1990 that DOESN'T have A/C?
Mine kinda sorta works. A bit of a charge probably wouldn't hurt it any, but, that stuff isn't cheap...... so, I just roll the windows down. And then complain about my hair blowing in my face. (yes, I have long hair.)

I use my A/C year round... even in winter it's on low... I've used heat twice in the last 14yrs... the last time it took a day of flicking the dial back and forth to get the blend door to move (the deteriorating foam seal had stuck it closed).
I also have a small leak... since everything on the outside has been replaced, I take it is the evap core... that won't get replaced until I need in there for something else... I have to add a can of refrigerant twice a year, so no big deal/expense.

This way there is no flow through the core in summer, and in winter you can easily switch it back on, without breaking out the screwdriver, and worrying about getting air pockets out of the system.
