So my new ride wouldn't cool at idle after sitting in the hot sun. It's been a 100 here in dallas. So I hooked my gauges up and the high side would hit 450 at idle and low was 45. So my first thought was a blockage, to much oil, or over charged. Today we drained the system and refilled with 24 oz. still hitting 450 at idle. My buddy which is a good ac guy put a fan in the front of the condenser. and pressure came down. Realized it was an air flow problem. Shut truck off and fan spun for 15 seconds. Changed the clutch and now all is good. Hopefully this will help someone down the road. My lbz never run hot even towing.
The point is maybe these fan clutches need to be replaced ever 4-5 years
Also I was getting some white hazing from exhaust at idle when it sit for a few minutes. Now nothing. Question is maybe the fan not pulling anough air affected everything else. Not sure.
