Toyota Tundra Forum

I have an 08 tundra dbl with 4.7 my ac blows cold but not hard. With the switch in max ac position blower nob on full and rec on. I feel it blow a little harder then with out it being in the max ac posititon. Just seems to me like it dosn't blow hard. I have an 08 Dakota, 07 Ram, and an 07 ford 500 (daddy drives the tundra) the other 3 vehicles when in max mode will blow you out of the seat. Does anyone else have issue with their ac blowing hard. I havnt changed the cabin filter I'll do that this afternoon. But dosent the filter only filter incoming fresh air?

Sorry for typos typng this out on iPhone

No problems with mine so far. I have an 07 DC with the 4.7 also. I do notice that I will only get real fast airflow with it on the highest setting though.

My 08 has a big difference when you put on the max / recycle mode, it blows much harder...........and your right, the cabin filter should be changed but should not make a difference in the max mode..........

The cabin filter filters all the air coming into the blower motor. If it gets full of dirt it can significantly reduce the air flow through the ac. I would check that first.

I think unclejt is right. Looked to me like it filters all air. Mine blows pretty good with the fan on high and air on recirculate. I never put it on MAX. Of course it does take a little longer to get really cold air when the truck is really hot.

I stand corrected........I didn't think it would go through filter unless it was coming from outside, good to know..........

That's just it. There is no question about it blowing cold. I'm going to change the filter this afternoon when I get off. I'll report back and let yall know. Also I spoke to another tundra owner he said he was having a similar issue changed the filter it helped some. Put it in for service it turned out to be a switch. He didn't say which switch. My truck has a Dr. Apointment Monday morning if the filter dosn't fix it.

try cycling the distribution knob.maybe some air is sent to the floor or the windshield.

Changed the cabin filter. It definatly blows better. But I still think it should blow harder. With the blower on hi and recirc button on. It seems to blow exactly the same as it being on max. Is that right?

I find that having the blower turned to 'full' blows a fair bit less than having the blower turned to 'full' with recirculate on. Was that your question?

Wait, do you mean the Max A/C spot on the temperature dial? I think that is the exact same as having the blower motor on 'full' and recirculate on - just a faster way of doing it when you first jump in the truck.
