Lightbulb T100 air conditioning...

Ever since I got the extended cab...I noticed that the AC was sorta...weak. Checked the system and the sight glass was clear. I noticed the low pressure line (cold) ran by the passenger side exhaust. This heat radiation will decrease the amount of cooling power the AC system will have.

So I foam wrapped the pipe and put some zip ties to keep the foam from splitting back apart. I also put in an aluminum heat shield to reduce the amount of heat the foam and pipe will git attacked with. It's not ideal but it's the scrap parts I had on hand fer the moment. It feels like it's gitting much cooler in the cab and faster, too. Ambient temps outside are above 90°F and the starting temp of the cab is around 104°F. Yes...I keep the glove box door open all the time to git the max amount of air circulating (since I rarely have passengers in the front passenger seat).

Piccies...
