Truck hot when a/c on

Post by dettony »

My truck gets hot when I run the a/c is that normal? When I run the a/c and then shut it off and then start it back up it's really hot and then cools down but if I don't use a/c it seems fine what gives?

Move to other topic, you are more likely to get more responses post the temps you are getting there and we can see what we think might be wrong
