A/C warms noticeably at stop, or when accelerating

I'm betting it does the same thing. If you are running already cooled air through, the compressor just does not need to run as much, we just notice it more in the 392. The temp fluctuation and compressor cycling may just be more noticeable due to the engine packaging and the heat it produces.

Yes I notice it more in the 392, I still love the jeep but it sucks in hot/humid miami. I added headliner from hotheads, ceramic tint even on windshield, rear shades. I don’t know what else to do, I guess just drive the non 392 during the day and 392 during the night.

Thanks to everyone, so glad I joined this forum

I drive my 2024 392 in Arizona, and although I've noticed slight variations in A/C blower air temperature at times, it's never been uncomfortably hot for me.

The Hotliner liner I've installed likely plays a role in keeping the interior more comfortable. Unfortunately, since I have a SOT painting the top white isn't an option for me, which I had considered. My Jeep body is white otherwise, chosen specifically for its heat-reflective properties in Arizona's harsh climate.

Considering the extreme summer temperatures in Arizona, which can soar to 110°F-120°F or even higher, it's impressive that my 392's interior remains tolerable. I believe this might also be due to the lower humidity in Arizona compared to more humid places like Miami.

Crazy because I expected the a/c to be like my non 392 JL. I never thought I’d have to have it on max the whole time to feel “ok”. I might just trade it back in for something different. The a/c system in the 392 feels like something you will have in a 50 year old vehicle.

Lucky you guys that live in less humid areas, making it more tolerable.

Same and I switched to MAX AC, internal air circulation, seems to help.

When I put max a/c it disables my recirculating

That's not what I said.

The A/C on my 392 is absolutely not less effective than the on in my JK. Perhaps you have something else going on with your Jeep.

The ONLY thing different is that when is 120F outside, driving in the city (under 45-50MPH), I get a whiff of warmer air every now and then.

I didn’t quote you, I was speaking from my experience
