I still havent been on enough #8325s to know if the AC is all that good. The #8350s have a new ac manufacturer making the ac for them. I dont remember what the #8325's have.

Expand The new HVAC units on the #8350’s are being made by Mobile Climate Control I believe, I pretty much think that this can give them better AC than the do not want to work well AC on the #7900’s lol. In this scenario it looks good on #8350 compared to the Thermo King units on the #7900’s and #8325’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
