1 truck 2 issues, First the Engine Coolant runs hot loaded up hill this is small hills as we are in flat land they are also short 1/4 to 1/2 mile at most, gets up to 230-240 with all alarms going. the Radiator is clean inside and out, we flushed it and run a borscope down the Radiator, and it looked good all the way down, told the thermostat was just replaced, and water pump was replaced. Fan looks good and is coming on and off around the 205 aera. Only coolant it looses is out the overfill when it gets hot, also has been pressure tested and holds ok. Have replaced the cap as well.
The second problem with same truck is the A/C, When it is first turned on it starts to get cold and then stops. Then the clutch starts to cycle about 6-10 sec on and 20-40 off. The high side never realy goes above 130 and the low side drops from 40 to almost 0 instantly re: 5psi. It has been vacuumed down and recharged using a good modren RRR machine. this was done 3 times just to make sure we had a proper starting point. This is not an APADS system. I only see 2 PRESSURE switchs in the A/C system under the hood. One is in the dryer and the other is in the same line just before the dryer. I have disconnected these switchs individually and it makes no differance the clutch still cycle's on and off, I have also jumped these switches on the harness side and it still makes no diff clutch still cycles on/off. Likewise the fan does not come on or off when I unplug or jump these switches on the harness side. I would think one of these is a fan switch ?.
So because the A/C fan switch is not working I was wondering if that is affecting the heating issue. So I need to figure out why the coolant is over heating , why the A/C fan switch is not working. And why the A/C does not work. Likewise why would the A/C keep cycling even when the pressure switches are unpluged and not jumped. The Truck is a 2001 CH613 ser# 1M1AA18Y11W139540. I do not have a Mack Dealer in my aera on the Border of Northwest North Dakota. So any ideas where to start would be helpful. Thanks.
