    60-65 PSI on low side? What was the high side? This with the compressor engaged?

    If compressor is off and both sides are 60 PSI at 70°F I'd suspect possibly low refrigerant charge. Typically a fully charged system should read about 70 PSI static pressure at 70°F ambient temperature.

    System was on, I thought the compressor was on at the time, but now I'm not sure if just a sun glare caused me to think it was spinning since it was clearly not yesterday. It wasnt quite 70 out and the psi was over 60, so like 63ish psi and probably 67-68 temp. Either way, shop has it now. We shall see what they say

    What is a good alternative to an International Dealer for service? If I may have to part ways with these guys.

    Find an independent shop, go to the bars near there, and bring it up in conversation lol. Either the local truckers will have brought stuff there and tell ya about it. Or ya meet their mechanics there and if they seem like completely #########...I wouldn't bring my stuff there.

    Very funny. I like your reply. Well, International took care of me. I think I am going to stick with them for a little longer. On that note, are there any honest aspect to trucking? I am not so sure anymore. :)

    I like it, but I get a discount at the dealership so it's about the same price and I know I'm covered nationwide for a warranty
