Cab air filter
I just got in a 1989 fld 120 daycab. The air conditioning is cool, but it doesn't blow out strong. Is there a cab air filter that may be clogged? We do construction work, so I'm thinking something is blocked up from all the dust. If there is a cab air filter, where is it located?

Thanks Hog, I'll check it out tomorrow. It looks like it just pops out. I'm hoping to blow it out with an air hose.
|
Maybe the fan needs to blow harder? 😜
|
Maybe there is a nest of bee's in there. :)
|
Or it could be a loose nut.......behind the wheel 😎

It doesn't seem like this truck has a cab filter.

From my experience with air conditioners, the filter is most likely clogged. That can result in it not producing enough hot air, which you might see as a sign for that. The main job of an air filter is to sustain air particles from traveling through the ducts of an AC before they cause any damage to the entire unit. If the filter remains unserviced and unchanged for far too long, it will get clogged and obstruct an excellent airflow. In that case, the evaporator coil will probably freeze and won’t perform the function of cooling. I was in the same situation, and I figured it out after reading this https://www.socool.sg/why-is-your-aircon-not-cold/ article.
