Is your air conditioning WEAK????

Did you push the A/C button? My compressor automatically comes on when I select recirculate, but when vent is selected, you have to push the A/C button. Either way at 95 degrees, I will eventually have to turn the temp control up even with the fan on low to keep from freezing everyone out.

Same here with me, a/c works awesome... I am in Texas and its is right at 100 today where I am, a/c on recirc and my snap-on a/c temp gauge says it is blowin' 38 degrees, cold enough to store my beer in! If only gas wasnt so expensive, I could leave it running all day and always have a cold refreshment.

my 05 does a good job of cooling and I run most of the time with recir off just for fresh air. I have noticed though that tons of heat radiates off the top of the dash board and I can feel it coming at me when the a/c is on low fan. I guess its just sun surface heating through the giant windshield .

Mine works just fine using outside air here in Tennessee. I have a QC and I've found that if I use the setting where it blows at your feet and on the windshield, it cools off quite nicely. The defrost vents cool the volume of hot air hovering over the dash and the floor vents help push any cooler air throughout the cab. But I only use it on super hot days and when sitting in road construction traffic. The rest of the time my a/c controls are the 4 switches on my door armrest.

Yes, it does remove heat form the air by the way of the freon. It works like this... The compressor compresses the freon gas to liquid. This liquid travels to where the blower blows air lines that have this liquified freon. When the liquid freon encounters the heat form the air it cools the air, but it is turned into a gas. This gaseous freon then goes out to the condensor to "get rid" of the heat and then it goes to the compressor to be compressed back to liquid. Ya know, Boyles Law. PV=nRT where the improtant factor for us is the T for Temp
Any yes, my truck will run you out it is so cold. Even if it is 100% humidity and 98* outside in good ole south florida. It also does better when the RPM's are up as the compressor is spinning faster, but at idle, still cools suficiently.
Make sure your A/C button is on. If not the compressor will not cycle. It also shuts off at high RPM to avoid damage.
