    Toyota paid for it. They replaced my ac compressor under warranty, and the ac just didnt work as well as before the replacement. I took the TSB to them and had them do it. I knew the tsb wouldnt fix the low ac output because it wasnt the problem, but I wanted the fan for when I am idling. My ac was not working well because the tech overcharged the system.

    That is why the 5k mile oil change is a good idea. Most people have no idea how many hours their engines run between oil changes.

    And that is a lot of moving parts just to spin an AC compressor

    I don't care what effect it has on the truck, my ass is sitting in AC comfort always! I've always said, there is a special place in heaven for the person who invented freon!

    I've seen literally 100% of people do it during summer on all cars, so I guess its fine. Except me though, I care too much about my car to ever use AC literally, besides I am not fan of AC air itself whether its car or just in the house. I think it may be issue if you are in extreme temperatures and cold engine starts using it right away.
