Removing AC condenser?

i very rarley post somthing on here. i do mre reading than posting. because most of the tyme what u post has already been asked or said. and maybe what im about to say has been aswell! lol! but if i were u i would leave that a/c alone because if ur motor is heatn up to 230. it got to be f### hot out there. work smart not hot or hard. i wold check the head gasket on that that truck and go from there. i did see read some say check the water pump. u got a few options that i would check before i mess with that a/c.......somthin just ant right, dont take it out on ur a/c!

 

Air runs thru the condenser with the AC on or off.
Not using ac won't keep condenser any cleaner.
In cab air filter may clog with use, but not as bad as leaving a window down in that environment.

 

Why do people jump towards head gaskets all the time? I have never seen a head gasket cause an engine to overheat! The only way to check a head gasket is to replace it! Big $$$! Paperchase, I don't mean to pick on you, it's just it seems like every time there is some kind of engine problem the head gasket gets the blame all the time!

 

hey heavy d. dont feel like im gettn picked on. im just talkn from experience thats what it could be cracked head. pen hole n liner. etc... could be a number of things and im not sure if anyone has askem when was the last tyme he replace that thing. if thats the pic of the truck on the first page, he probly has not!. and it maybe costly but there no tyme to start shoving that money down n ur pocket now u bout the truck spend the money and take care of it... im just sayn start some were start any were but leave that a/c alone

i drove a company truck that was like this one tyme. and the end result was a new motor. but every sitution is differnt. maybe impossible to find two motors the same.

Oh ok 300,000 sounds guud.

 

my a/c condenser had several holes in it from rocks. 3 years ago. the belt has been off since. when my head gasket leaked, my coolant temp, never gave me a problem. it just leaked out of over flow hose. leaked for about 2 weeks before I figured out what was going on. that was before I joined this forum, or any forum. I would just have to add 3 gallons every 500 miles. personally for me. I am going to have my air to air checked real .real good.

 

took my first load out with a cleaned out rad & my a/c condenser removed. not any difference I can tell. having the air checked 1 day this week. the slightest headwind really brings temp up. on a flat without a headwind & temp is just fine.
