Whenever a comment arises in the literature or elsewhere, it is usually along the lines of how it is "not very effective". Having used the AC constantly in high 80 (F) to high 90s for the last three months in daily driving, and the last three months of last summer, I find that it is right up there with anything I have driven, old and new.
Overheating? No, not really. It just warms the engine up faster and the radiator fans come on more often.
Power? You get use to it. In fact, when you finally turn the AC off you get a pleasant "boost" in power.
Cooling efficiency? I am staying pleasantly chilled driving to and from work. Sometimes even a bit uncomfortably chilled.
So why all the negative press? Have I found the magic condenser size? Is the seven cylinder Sanden compressor I am running the answer? Just curious if anyone else feels that the X 1/9 AC is fine? I guess this thread is another way of saying that I am not in agreement with the general assessment. Anybody else feel the same?
