I have a 2007 Kenworth t600 and the a/c unit isn't blowing much air. I have already taken it to have it looked at and everyone says it is working properly. The problem is that it doesn't have much power the air is cool but much isn't coming out. Any advice on what it could possibly be?
A/C needs more power

Is it possible the blower speed control isn't working? It's only running on one speed?
miguelmorales Thanks this. -
All four speeds are working and you can feel the increase in airflow but it isn't anything dramatic.

You will have to look under dash for a air duct hose thats off and just blowing under dash an not out vents?

Or blower motor is weak. Restate maybe bad. Evaporater may be plugged with dirt.
ExOTR and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Don't know if the T6's are like the T8's but check the air intake for the HVAC system, it should be above the pass. side fender, around where the air breather is. Some people install the optional cab air filter over the mesh there. Or if you don't have a cab filter dust can actually take out the fan over time.

Thank you everybody for all the feedback! It's all really helpful.

Check your in-cab filter, if you have one. If it's clogged up, it will slow your flow. The system can only blow out what can get sucked in. A dirty fan will not be as efficient either.

I have this issue with a couple older trucks, and the western stars at one customer. If I try the air con and it is blowing warm air out or marginally cooling down the cab, I go under the hood and shut the heater lines off. For some reason this cures the problem.
