Last year I put in a mechanical temp gauge (factory gauge was horribly off calibration).
It runs at 165-170 degrees.
I know, but I checked it against an infrared thermometer and it was within 2 degrees.
So anyway, If I run the AC (all stock RV-2 but with 134a professional conversion), it gets up to 190-195 and when I shut it off the catch can overflows.
I like to keep about a pint of coolant in the can which is about 1/2 the quart capacity.
I don't remember it doing this before, but until last year I didn't have a good temp awareness.
If I don't run the AC, it doesn't seem to ever get above 170, even in the 95 plus degree FL spring and at 65-70 MPH highway speeds.
Is my compressor giving it up?
