Well this last weekend since I was at the beach stuck in 100 degree weather and at a standstill in traffic for over AN HOUR gave me a good chance to see how it's working.

My tech replaced everything again... another new compressor, etc, etc.
With the truck just idling, the temp gets down to 46'ish Going down the road or stepping on the gas to bring the idle up will bring the temp down to 42-43. That's ICE COLD.

However, getting stuck in traffic for an hour or so, you can feel the temp difference. I still want to try the fan trick.

Paragon, why won't the fan idea work? Even GM's on their Yukons had a Service Bulletin to add a supplemental fan when the vehicle sits at a light. Any air flowing over the condensor should help. I know the H2 doesn't have the greatest mounting place but isn't there a way to make some air go over the condensor?

Thanks,

Mark
