I had an old Caprice and Mote Carlo with the valve. It would stick in the winter leaving me with no heat, just ended up removing it or rigging it open.

 

i'll have to try this... TUCSON, AZ....

 

Gets hot in La. (the state) also. With 105% humidity and no rain (don't ask I don't understand eigthor just following the weatherman) 97* is pretty damn hot. Its gotten to 92* already. I think I'll be trying this, just cap off the heater core. Thanks for the tip.

 

The reason why the A/C is hotter with the Efans is becuase the clutch fan is cooling the condenser all the time by running air through it all the time. The fans are not on all the time so this will cause the condenser to be a little warmer. This is why it is nessecarry for the fans to turn on when the clutch goes on.

But this is a good idea here I am going to have to try it. Should be 105 today, and it is feeling a little humid.

 

Yea I learned that the hard way. At first I didn't have mine set up to turn on with the A/C. It was like a sauna till you were rolling. Damn 134a.

 

well to show you how simple this mod is i have attached a pic for anyone who doesn't know what im talking about.. if it works for ya then go ahead and install the valve...



PS.... took this pic just before cleaning engine bay

 

I need to do this, the A/C in my Crewcab sucks!

 

Electric fans should be wired to run whenever the AC compressor is engaged. If you have the PCM controlling the fans you can have them run only when below a certain vehicle speed if the AC is on, since natural airflow over the condensor at speed eliminates the need for the fans.

 

Yeah that engine bay is a little dirty. I think I see an sc in the corner though.

 

yeh real dirty rite now i need to get one of those hand held high pressure steem cleaner things from the "as seen on tv" commercials
