AC and Drive Mode

It's hot in Texas right now. Truck was parked in the shade for a couple hours. Took a drive and after 5 mins was at a red light. Noticed I wasn't in ECO mode. Was thinking I must have hit the dial when cleaning. Put in ECO which is where I live. Still red so I thought I'm getting gas why not see what SPORT mode has on take off. Switched over and the AC, which was blowing good, and it kicked into turbo.

I have played with it for a couple days. Drive mode definitely effects AC when's it'shot as hell out. I'm not at home this week but when I get back I'm going to put the temp gun on it to see if it gets cooler. I wouldn't think the fan would effect mpg, so guessing something in the compressor is also activated.

 

Carista already adjusted. I'm in the Ozarks this week and ECO is not for the mountains. Just too doggy. Normal works but SPORT is much better suited.

 

I will, thanks.

 

Another vote for tow/haul in the mountains, works really good for coming down also
