Do ya’ll turn your AC off before turning truck off?

[P. A. Schilke]

So I’ve always been told (not lately though) to Always turn off the AC before turning off the vehicle. Is this another of my personal outdated “car-isms” or could it actually be Beneficial to the AC compressor and clutch? My trucks ASS still activates even w the AC on, once it cools the cabin down, so as long as I let ASS be then it’s going against what I’ve always been told on its on.

BTW, Adam,

Ya'll is singular...so addressing s single person? All Ya'll is plural...Eh?

Its an old carism from days of old. Before solenoids and relays came into the picture. Had something to do with power distribution and stuff, then science, and it was ok to leave it on. Just be sure to pump the gas pedal before starting the pickup ?

No, you push the gas pedal once to set the choke then turn the key. If it doesn't start then you have to pump the pedal a few times while cranking the starter. Be careful though not to flood it.

I remember when I had a '92 T-bird. The manual specifically said to NOT depress the throttle when starting as it would interfere with the ECM (computer)'s ability to correctly establish the idle speed (or words to that effect).

In my 68 I pump the foot feed as I pull out the choke. When it starts I push the choke in a little.

Years ago I worked in a laundry and a man came in and asked if ya'll do dry cleaning. I said no we all dont but some of us do.

It's like somebody asking if I had a haircut. "No, I had em' all cut."

A friend of mine is missing most of his hair. I asked if he got a haircut and he said, yep "both of them." His haircuts take 2 seconds

We're starting to look at other areas now just now sure on where to go. Wherever we go one prerequisite is it has to be a pro 2A state and no long cold winters. I hate being cold but it's been just getting hotter and hotter here especially with all the building going on. All the concrete and asphalt just hold the heat in and give it a "heat island effect" where even at 11:00 it's still over 100 out.

west Texas? Dry heat, low humidity, plenty of jobs, lots of recreational land for sale by El Paso. Let’s go halves on 50 to 100 acres so we can have our own shooting range lol.

We can get hot but nowhere near your guys’ level. The highest we hit last year was 113. Plus it gets pretty comfy at night. Even on the hottest of days.
