Hope I am the only one, but thought I would post in case I am not and there is already a fix out there. I have not contact the manufacturer, yet.
Ok, let' say you are driving along and want to pass someone and traffic is heavy. Then, you press the Tow/Haul mode to get the RPM gear change mapping changed so that it will drop a gear or two faster along with changing the shift point. You punch it and go around them and head off with no problems.
A few minutes later you turn off the Tow/Haul mode as you have passed everyone that was slowing you down and basically return the truck to the mild mannered AV everyone knows, only you start to notice your A/C compressor is no longer pumping freon. No mater if you adjust the Temp (automatic climate control) or turn the fan up, the compressor is not turning on any more and the air coming out of the vents is warm by my standards. The only way I have been able to reset this is to hit the A/C button turning it off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on again.
This seems like a programing / mapping issue with the way the Predator maps the computer and the A/C cutoff. It refuses to release the shutoff until you cycle the A/C system.
I need to know if there is anyone else observing this situation. Since it is just starting to get warm enough here in Texas, I am now noticing it. I am not sure if it has done this since I purchaed the unit a few months ago as I have not really needed the A/C much although it is always on automatic and I may have not noticed is all.
Anyone able to reproduce this, or is it just me? I can pretty easily reproduce it, although I have only recently put two and two together as to why my A/C is flakey :-(
Thanks in advance.
