Lines: 19 From: Jim MayerI would like to find out about the differences between factory and dealer installed air conditioning. I am particularly interested in knowing how that difference would effect a small car like a Ford Escort. What I have found out so far is: o On a large car factory installed air conditioning works better. o On the Escort, the dealer replaces the heater with a Ford supplied integrated heater/conditioner box. The dealer admitted that dealer conditioning doesn't work as well in large cars, but claimed that they were practically the same for a car the size of the Escort. Does anyone out there have experience with this kind of thing? -- Jim Mayer Computer Science Department (arpa) mayer@Rochester.ARPA University of Rochester (uucp) rochester!mayer Rochester, New York 14627
