Hey all,
I have a general question with AC. That is, does the AC system draw power even when not engaged? I know it draws power when it's turned on, but I'm wondering if simply having the pulley drag on the engine would cause more than a 1-2hp loss. I'm considering adding AC to my Dakota but won't do it if it draws a significant amount of power while not in use.
Thanks again,
Karl G.
