[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3136617, member: 29706"] Yeah it sucks, we try to keep the house around 70 most of the time. It's life. She has Neurosarcoidosis which causes lots of issues. Part of which is her body temp, she normally runs a little on the cool side temp wise but if she gets hot it really sucks since she also has a myocardial bridge. So basically gets hot and feels like she is having a heart attack. Have to do our best to keep her cool and keep the instant cold packs around whenever we are out. Still have to have ice packs at home from time to time. Didn't used to be so bad but she started having chest pains three or four years ago and since then it has been and issue. But talked with my father and he drove truck before he retired about a month ago and they have valves in line to disconnect the heater core from the systems on most trucks already so adding one in even with a vehicle that has good ac probably isn't a bad idea. The only downside is that if the vehicle starts to overheat you can't roll down the windows and turn the heater on to help cool the system a little more. Was pulling a trailer through the mountains in AZ on the way back to OK and was starting to overheat and used that trick once to keep it cool enough to continue. Been in AZ as well when it was hot. I think it was 120 a couple days. Shot a steel challenge match out there one day when it was hot. This was before I figured out the issue with my truck and it would take 4 or 5 miles of driving before it would start to cool down a little inside but as soon as I would stop that cool was gone again. It's not awful now but if it gets over 100 the system takes a while to cool unless I am on the highway. [/QUOTE]
