This is definitely air conditioner weather.

I had a customer in here last year with his a/c notputting out cold air.

I raised the hood, that always helps, and looked at thecompression. The clutch wasn't turning.

I disconnected the switch at the low pressure cut- offvalve and took a bent paperclip, in the shape of ahorse shoe, or a "U" for those of you that never boughtyour horse any shoes.

I inserted both ends into the slots in the plug, and,wooden, the compressor clutch started turning.

I hooked the gauges to the a/c lines and opened thevalves to read the pressure.

Pressure was fine.

I replaced the low pressure cut-off valve and the a/ccooled the vents inside the truck down to 39o.

The customer looked at me rather oddly and said, "I hadit checked last week and they wanted $1200 to make itget cold."

I hope they were just giving him an estimate for acomplete rebuild job, just in case it needed it.
