Kitulu Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 While driving from TN to FL today, I noticed that the a/c would blow warmer humid air when we were going through the mountains, when the rpm was over 3500. The temp gauge did not move from the normal position. I am towing a UHaul 5x9 utility trailer with my Honda Shadow and some houseplants on it, and the rear of the Edge has suitcases and the like with the seats folded down. The Tare weight for everything combined, including the Edge, is a little over 5000lbs, and the Gross weight is a little over 7000lbs. Is it normal for the a/c to cut out when the engine is under heavy load?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yep, my parent's 1990 Aerostar with the old Vulcan 3.0L used to do it all the time, made for some pretty warm family vacations and we didn't even tow anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 All the gas engines will cut the compressor off under WOT or high load conditions to try and take as much load off the engine as possible. The diesels don't do this. Totally normal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
