sloride Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 While looking through my 88 jeep parts catalog for air conditioning components I discovered an illustration page titled "Receiver/Drier, Condenser and Hoses 6 Cylinder Engine w/FACTORY Air conditioning Cherokee, Wagoneer, Comanche" and the very next page has an illustration titled "Receiver/Drier, Condenser and Hoses 6 Cylinder Engine w/American Air conditioning Cherokee, Wagoneer, Comanche" My truck came with AC straight from the factory, this I know. The truck is an AMC. So whats the deal? Could anyone tell me what the difference is between Factory and American air conditioning components?
HOrnbrod Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 American A/C is dealer installed. If a customer wanted one of a dealers offerings w/o A/C, they could pay the dealer to install an A/C kit. Very common back in the day, and usually cheaper than the factory A/C. Kinda like sunroofs. Most of those were dealer installed.
cruiser54 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 So it has the fan switch n the lower radiator hose? Yep. My '87 MJ has the dealer-installed a/c.
Eagle Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 So it has the fan switch n the lower radiator hose? Yep. My '87 MJ has the dealer-installed a/c. Ya know ... I've never noticed.
cruiser54 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Only reason I ask is I saw one at the JY. A piece of pipe with the radiator switch in it. I snagged it for use on my son-in-law's project jeep.
Keyav8r Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 My '88 had the fitting in the lower radiator hose with the fan switch. Does that mean it had the dealer installed AC? When I replaced the hoses I moved the switch to a bung on the radiator tank.
Eagle Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Wait... whats the radiator switch for? Controlling the auxiliary fan.
mikekaz1 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Wait... whats the radiator switch for? Controlling the auxiliary fan. ah ok!. does anybody know if they still produce these "add on" kits? ive always thrown around the idea of adding AC to my truck. would these benefit vs a factory swap and splice?
