A/C problems

[mikeg135]

I was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem with their A/C.



Occassionally after my truck sits over night, there will be a loud bang come from the motor as the relay for the A/C will turn on. This only happens once for the day and only happens the first time the relay for the A/C kits on. The dealership claims to have checked out everything and of course it is fine according to them.



The A/C works fine other than that. I called several dealers that work on many diesels and they have not seen this intermittant problem either.



Any help would be appreiciated.

I do some A/C work to support my BOMBing habit on the side, but I have never heard of your problem in particular. It could be a whole myriad of things. If I could see and hear the sound I may be able to help. But unless you are coming to Wisconsin, that may be a problem. Anyway, I would bring it to a couple of different places to have it checked out. Most shops I've gotten work from have either done a slipshot job of troubleshooting or didn't troubleshoot at all and just added refrigerants. Make sure you get a satisfactory answer. If you need any other help or can give me more information, drop me a line.

Mine has done the same - usually after not running the A/C for a while. I guess when it quits working, I'll find the cause.
