So I have been making trips back home here and there and was back there this weekend and got this out when it was high humidity and about 90 degrees out. I figured I should give the A/c a try. Was able to record 58 degrees coming out of the outlets! pretty damn happy about that!! With only me in the car it kept it manageable, but I dont know if I would be comfortable with another person in there with me in a suit for a wedding, but I will take it!

I think over the winter I am going to get the drive shaft looked at. I didnt like how the U joints felt once I installed them so I am going to make sure it isnt bent because that car is not as smooth when compared to the Caribbean is at certain speeds.

On the driveshaft and smoothness you might also see if anything in bulletin 56T-10 and the corrected version -10C applies to your Patrician.

Per the manual, ideally the temperature at the outlets should be high 30's steady state after a bit of driving. The service manual gives instructions for adjusting this on page 5.

Or do you have aftermarket A/C? I forget.
