Had a 81 rabbit diesel truck with air conditioning. At a stoplight, had to turn ac off or light would change before you could get across the intersection.

Close to that. But made my coach seem like a dragster, top speed 70 on the flats, 65 with ac on.
This was back in days of 55 mph speed limits. Wish I had it today, be a great toad [2200 lbs].
