I think if it would make a big improvement, the factory would've already done it.

That's why I hesitated and waited so long to do it... My thoughts were like yours. However, summer heat is just around the corner, and a FEW degrees make a big difference when you're just above the "comfort zone" temp wise...

My Co-Worker was also skeptical, but after we went to lunch in my car, he decided to do it on his Tacoma as well, and even on his wife's car too. We FELT and SAW the difference and figured it could translate into a better fuel effeciency rating if the compressor would not kick in as often.

At any rate, I like the feel of the colder air blowing on my face while I sit in traffic, waiting to move 15 feet more before the light changes.... LOL

Yeah, any improvement's a good thing. Gridlock in summer is grim without AC. Especially when straddling a big air cooled Harley engine.

Just did it to my car over the weekend and I notice a small difference. It is in the high 80's so I will check after this week and see how it does. Fairly easy to do.
