Default Here Is A Tip For Colder A/c......

i keep getting compliments on how cold my ac is they seem to think i have a freak ac from the factory hehehe ...

what i did is just removed the two heater hoses from the firewall and just connected them together with a 5/8 hose connector. (the two hoses that go from water pump to firewall)so what your are basically doing is stopping hot water from circulating inside the dash the hot water will only circulate in the engine bay

works great

when it is an old truck and your vent and ductwork is a little screwed up, this comes in very handy. i have to do it every year with an 88 ford to run the AC. the heater is doesnt feel so great when it is 110 outside!

Isnt this bad for your heater core. I would think that it would be more prone to get clogged or stop circulating when you reconnect it. just my .02
