Normal right hand.

Your compressor is probably fried. Mine did that, but I quit using it immediately, but it was still too late. The compressor had put a lot of metal in the system requiring new compressor, accumulator, O-tube, TXV, and condenser, and the ENTIRE system had to be flushed with solvent and high...

Thermal expansion valve, at the inlet of the evaporator in the rear A/C module on the passenger side behind the wheelwell, senses the temp of the evaporator and controls refrigerant flow.

Don't use anything but R-134a in your A/C. There is no substitute for proper service proceedure on these or any modern auto A/C systems. Have the refrigerant recovered, then vacuum and charge the proper amount of refrigerant into the vacuum whenever you suspect performance has dropped off. And...

Low side is on the firewall side of the orifice tube, high side is on the radiator side, both in the line between the condenser and evaporator.

These trucks will eat the compressor if it gets only a little low on refrigerant. Best to make sure you have the full charge before trying to run the compressor.

2001-2003 thermostat is integral with housing. 2004 up use different set-up with different water pump. I don't know if that is a cooling upgrade. Stock thermostat is fine; if you want better cooling, replace your fan clutch if over 3 years old. Also, upgrade your transmission cooler to a larger...

These trucks usually work OK in the rear when the front starts getting weak from low charge. May be a defective or plugged up TXV. If that is the case, there may be more problems down the road if the problem is related to compressor trash plugging the valve. You need to see what's in the orifice...

This is a big job which if you try and cut corners will not be successful and will cost you MORE money. You need to recover the refrigerant and check the orifice tube for trash. If it's chock full of metal, your whole system is contaminated from compressor failure. If you flush out all the metal...

It is my understanding that the practical limit of output from any given alternator case is it's cooling capacity. Too much output from the wrong case will not be as reliable due to overheating. Just get the highest output OEM offering for your alternator type for best reliability. Unless your...
