slowburb - that's an interesting idea. I have noticed the ac seems to work a bit better on the freeway.
Then it is as I stated. Your AC system is working per its design and intent.
Not necessarily... It could just be that the highway RPMs are turning the compressor faster than in-town driving and causing a temporary boost in effectiveness. I'd be getting all your refrigerant levels checked, cleaning the evaporator/condensor and making sure there's absolutely no leaks in the system before I start throwing fan upgrades at it. Also a quick note on electric fans, they almost never push as much air as a proper clutch fan setup. Even the ones rated for ridiculous CFM levels sometimes fall way short of their ratings. Not nearly as reliable as your factory clutch fan setup, either. Plus they draw a ton of electrical current. If you're trying to squeeze a few extra HP out of the engine then an e-fan setup might help you, but definitely don't do it for cooling purposes or reliability IMO. Never heard of the TrailBlazer fan swap, but I'd be pretty reluctant to start chopping on my fan shroud for a minimal gain like that. If you're dead set on upgrading the clutch fan for some reason I'd just buy a new Flex-A-Lite or equivalent with more blades, or one of the 9-blade GMT400 fans that are a direct swap with no trimming. Just my opinion on the matter, not trying to start an argument.
