hi,jim. well i'll try to explain it, this might get lengthy.we have a 2003 international 7400,that we bought from AB at their knoxville location(no longer in operation)when we took delivery of the truck we were told that the truck needed to be taken to woodhaven to have the sleeper a/c connected to the truck's a/c system (why this wasn't done before we took delivery i have no idea,but the generator that we ordered wasn't on there either but that's another story)anyway,while driving to ohio from knoxville it was warm enough for us to turn on the cabs a/c.the air coming out was ICE cold,the international part of the system worked great.we took the truck to woodhaven to have AB tie the sleeper a/c into the trucks system.with the added lines to the sleeper and the evaperator unit under the bunk this caused them to increase the freon capacity from 1.8# to 3.5 or 4.0# depending on who was replacing the freon.after they tied into internationals system,the cab a/c never was able to match the level of coolness that it had when we first got the truck.we have had just about every line in the system blow out on us causing us to keep taking it back to AB for repairs(sometimes we have been in situations where we have had to go to other places because we were too far away from michigan to get it fixed.when your in phoenix and it's 100 degrees out you gotta do what you gotta do)AB has always managed to get the a/c operational but the repairs just don't last very long then were back to square one again.we have taken this truck to our local international dealer(wise international in akron,ohio)and they have told us that the way that AB tied into the trucks a/c system is incorrect,and that the system was never designed to circulate that much freon.also after saying that,they informed us that because of that they were voiding the warranty on the entire a/c system.since that time i have been back to dundalk,ont.to try and get it fixed and was told that the line where the AB and internationals system come together was split.they also told me that woodhaven is the only place that could replace this line.so back to woodhaven again,where they replaced the line(they didn't have a line for the 7400,so the "mechanic"put a line that was made for the 4400 on it with some modification)this repair did not work,and the "mechanic" did not have any idea of what to do next.so that is where we sit now,no a/c whatsoever and no idea what to do next.
