'13 5.0 idle shudder with AC on
The heat and humidity is slowly starting to creep back to south louisiana and ive started using my AC. Ive noticed that while sitting at a stop light and the AC compressor kicks on i get a RPMs drop 100-200 causing a shudder. Anyone else with this issue. Could this be resolved by increasing the idling RPMs by ~100 or so?
Dealer should be able to adjust this correct?

We are expecting another snow storm, I am ready to jump off a bridge. This god damn winter has to end!!!!
Back on topic, AC compressors take a lot of juice, specially at udle. That said, most engines idle up when the compressor starts up, so certainly worth having the dealer look at it.
