A/C seems to take a long time to get going

[hwprouty]

It's been hot here in Seattle area, and hen I get in the ZR2 it seems to take the A/C quite awhile to get rolling. The wife even was playing with the controls, seemed to be better with the fan turned all the way on high. ( Captain Obvious I guess but I always leave it in Auto )
My Colorado blows cold within seconds, same with the Avalanche..
I understand airflow and cooling, and know that until you get air flow across the radiator it cant shed much heat....
I seem to remember a setting in the menu options of 'fan on low when radio? something was on? Am I hallucinating?!
Thanks for the advice in advance!

My ZR2 in even extreme FL heat, starts to cool down in less than a minute. It's 94 now and I just made a run to the store, truck was cooling down before I got off my street.

It's only 175 when you get in your car here! It'll cool down in October tho.

1030 this morning. My air works fine in this shit, but seats seem to struggle to catch up.

Gotta stop farting into them, give them a fighting chance.

Ask me how I know…

I like the Florida heat but that desert temp is just too damn much even for me.

Only 138 for the afternoon drive. But it cooled to 137 after I remote started it, so it wasn't too bad.

I forgot to mention that as well, my seats don't seem to cool the cheeks much!

Good luck keep us updated
I find my seats lack the power of past models. Heat works fast. Definitely in favor for cooler climates.

I actually thought my seats blew more cool air than previous models. I think the problem here is heat soak when we're running +10F over normal temps. They don't feel cool, cause it takes so long to chill leather, foam, seat frame etc.

I never remember to turn my seats on till I’m damn near where I’m going

Global warming is real

There's a settng to turn them on when you remote start the truck... I do that and don't seem to have as much as a problem with them cooling down.

Of course it is

Haven't turned mine on since I bought the truck 1.5 years ago. And I'm in FL too
