Does it Hurts the A/C to have it at full blast while driving topless?? wait let me re- think that ... With the top down??? hmmm.... still sounds funny .. Well you know what I mean???


The reason I ask is I love it, but I am afraid of Breaking something ...

 

No it doesn't hurt it. I would not reccomend doing that in a dusty 4wd (or 2wd) scenario. You wouldn't want to clog the fan coil with dust. Can get really nasty in there with the condensate mixing with contaminants.

 

It won’t hurt it in any way; the only thing is that you might see some condensation on the vents. That’s not an issue at all.

By the way my JK is at Alberic, will get it tomorrow.

 

Great to hear ... already fix it?? what caused the problem .. ??

When are we going wheeling

 

Pretty sure ours is on 95+% of the time. Been that way since March 26th - I'll let you know.

As for the dust - we've had much and have blown several vents / intakes out with compressed air upon the return home!

So far - so good - we need one of those "fingers-crossed" smileys!

 

WOW I thought Puerto Rico was hot .. no wonder you have the a/c on 95 % of the time .....
Thanks for your help .. I am going to keep driving with the top down and the air in full blast its 96 here today but it feels like 110

 

I only mentioned the dust thing because I used to tune up residential units a long time ago. Some of the coils would get dirty enough to restrict airflow. Once the airflow got slow enough on the evaporator coils, they would freeze the condensation. that would snowball ontill the whole thing ws a block of ice. Which surprizingly doesn't cool that well. Most of them that were that bad usally envolved pet hair. Sometimes though there would be ones that appeared to be moldy. I've never bothered to check any of my own vehicles, but it seems reasonable that they would get contaminated much faster on convertables. I hope we have fresh air filters on these things. Anyone with a service manual know where it's located?
