What Evaporator Temperature should the Compressor Clutch Open?
I found that my Clutch Cycling Switch Relay was shot, so I changed it with one from Pick-a-Part Junk Yard.
With an outside temperature of 82 degrees the Evaporator Air was reading 40 degrees on max flow.
When I switched to Max Air(recycling cab air) the Evaporator Air was reading 33 degrees when the Compressor Clutch opened and recycled.
Do I have the Temperature set to low?
Or should I pull the Probe out of the Suction Line a little to up the temperature?

Pulling the probe out makes the temp go down. 33 sounds OK to me, just don't run the fan on low. Bleed in a little heat if you get too cold.
