Ok, took the c10 out for a cruise to see if the AC cooled. Granted it's already 105 degrees out when I drove it.
Been sitting a bit took a few seconds to start. Heat may be affecting it as even after warmed up it was a tad slugging in staring. Battery is good, so not sure what's up with that at this time.
Turned the fans on Low at first started to cool pretty nicely. Kicked the fan to High and yes, it cooled pretty well. I did notice an odd sound when the fan/ac was on when I stepped on the gas. It didn't happen Everytime. Turn the AC off weird sound gone when stepping on gas. Not sure what to make of it just yet. I'll investigate further another day.
I did notice the temp gauge getting HOT. So I turned the AC off cruised around, temp went down a tad as I went home. The pic is from I turned thr AC off it was inside the solid white marker when the AC was on.
Left truck running and opened the hood in the garage, I could not duplicate the sound I heard in the cab. I did thankfully find in time, one of the transmission cooler lines was rubbing on the ac compressor belt area, so I fixed that. Just messed the steel braiding and didn't affect the actual hose. No leaking.
Anyway, as the truck temp gauge inside was reading HOT, I took my temp sensor gun all around the engine bay as it was running , and everything was fine temperature wise.
Maybe the 60 year gauge in the cluster is a bit off? Not sure just yet. Yes, it is HOT outside so that for sure is playing into I assume.
Just jotting this down for the thread.
Other than the temp being funky and that sound, along with the trans line. The AC kicked on well, and the cab was cool.
This is first time the temp got that high on the gauge, probably outside ambient temp and AC strain? Oh well.
Came home took the Blazer out and fun was had by all. Man, so much more fun to drive than the c10 I'm afraid.... oh well
