Howdy All,
Title says it all. My cab air conditioner blows cold, the unit in the sleeper puts out warm air when it's turned on. I am "ASSUMING" there is a separate compressor in the sleeper but can't see any fittings where the refrigerant can be added. Any advice or a photo showing were the unit can be charged sure would be appreciated, THANKS.
Dave
How do you rechage the air conditioner in the Sleeper of 2001 379?

Make and model year will also be helpful.
My truck for instance has a refrigerant line switch that cuts the refrigerant from the sleeper based on the sleeper thermostat, in your shoes, thats the first place i would look, but dont know if thats how yours is set upRideandrepair and Mr. Cob Thank this. -
I'll try to post some photos of the under bunk unit. Make and model and year are in the title.

Truck front and rear AC are one system. You have bad clogged valve on rear or stuck in heat position blend door. Check with your hand if rear evaporator is cold.

I’m guessing you have the water valves turned off on engine. That rules out hot coolant cancelling out the A/C. Probably the expansion valve, or orifice. Whichever KW has. Just a guess. Maybe the temp control valve. Not sure about KW, but temp valve and temp control switch. Temp control probe in evaporator if equipped. Gotta be one of those. If it has a temp probe, you can hear it click on and off when working with the temp dial.
