a/c power difference
i was reading this thread https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=72365
something got me thinking on every vehicle i ever owned ive noticed a decent size difference in power when the a/c is on/off
just wondering if im the only person that notices that type of thing
on a completely different note it seems like my truck might be leaking a little oil from or around the oil pan area

on my 2.5 its the difference between stalling out and making it out of 1st when im shifting really lightly... after driing my truck for so long i know exactly how much gas i need to get out of first and when i turn the air on if i give it the same amount it will stall.. of course i dont stall :P i save it but ya with the ac on i lose about 20 hp and with a 120hp engine that's a shi ton. But in my moms Lexus her 5.3 L v8 doesn't even feel the ac.

He originally said "getting out in traffic", like he was getting onto a freeway, where he needed more power. In this case, WOT would cut his AC compressor off, without him having to shut it off manually.
