2001 F 53 heat & A/C cuts out?
The heat & A/C cuts out. I've been told it's the lack of vacuum. I've added an additional vacuum tank, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions on what to do?

Yes...a "common" problem for the F-53s. My 2001. Pulling a grade with effort, the computer "brain" sends a message "put all power to the motor" and that cuts out the a/c for the duration of the hill. Once you crest the hill and the effort is less (back into 3rd and then to OD) the a/c comes back on.
A small vacuum tank...maybe. I've put up with this since 2001, always thinking that I've gotta fix this next trip...but it never happened. An annoyance, yes.
That's with the a/c. Never noticed the heater acting the same way.......
