New Problem With My "New" Tractor.

That vin# alone would make me sell that thing!

 

After years of dealing with a/c, can someone explain to me how low freon causes the condenser to freeze?

This is a classic problem with drainage and possibly a problem with an expansion valve.

 

I would say yes on a plugged drain but........
Did you check the fuse for A/C and when on does the compressor spin?
On my DD the compressor seal went bad and let all the gas out.

Depending on the type of a/c system, it could also be a clogged CCOT tube can be a problem, if it is plugged up as well. Once the a/c is shut off, the CCOT tube defrosts the crap inside, and starts all over again. Not sure however if a CCOT tube is used in truck a/c systems.

CCOT, (Cycling clutch orifice tube)

Best as said he takes it to a dealer, the truck stop grease monkeys don't really know how to diagnose, and will be parts replacers instead.

 

Bedbugs? Where did you get this junk pile?

 

Lol. At least you have a good attitude about it. Did you figure out your AC?
I seem to remember having problems with drainage in a truck I had- the ports were all full of junk. They were on the passenger side under the cab. But it wasn't freezing up. It needed to be charged.
Some of these guys seem to know more about it than I do.....
