This question is for C4C5 or anyone in the know, does the A/C compressor on the LS6 automatically disengage at high RPM to help extend it's lifespan?
I know in my other GM vehicles the compressor does not automatically disengage at high RPM. With the LS6's 6500 RPM red line, I've been shuting off the A/C when doing any serious driving to try and protect the compressor. Is this necessary or are these C5 compressors built stout enough to take the high RPM revs?
Have you had to replace many C5 compressors?
I do like keeping the A/C on especially in stop and go driving because it keeps the fans on and my engine temps usually stay right around the thermostat temperature.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
