Life sucking A/C

[Chuckdiesel]

Does anyone's truck go to mush with the A/C on? I just recharged mine and have used it for 2 days now and I can feel a big difference when the compressor comes on and off like Im letting off the petal some like the difference when the cold idle comes off.

You must have a fuel restriction, or possibly other issues.

I don't notice any difference, whatsoever, with a pinned fan-clutch(direct-drive), A/C blowing, and a trailer load of cows behind.

You shouldn't notice it.
did you charge with gauges? was there an abnormally high high presure side reading?

That's pretty standard fare on a gasser, but I never feel it with the diesels. Same as I never feel that 10 HP getting sucked up by the fan.

No difference here either. Even with the turbo off can't tell the difference

mine also drops about 100rpms and gives me a rough idle. but i'm pretty sure i've got IP issues so that could be to blame big time.

Yea I dont know whats up. Just feels like Im dragging a building. My fuel milage has dropped about 2 miles a gallon running the AC.
