Best Answer

Vehicles have compensation systems to increase the rpm when the AC is loading the engine, and slowing it down. Newer cars idle speed often isn't adjustable, so the problem's in the ECM (computer) or a sensor.

With an older vehicle, simply bump up the idle speed a little. Usually a 1/8 or so, turn on the adjusting screw will do it.

What does peak torque means in truck?

"Peak Torque" is RPM of engine that produces the most torque. For example the 'peak torque' on a Ford 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel is 570 ft-lbs@ 2000 rpm. In an engine, especially a diesel, higher rpm does not necessarily mean more torque. Fact is, it drops at a higher rpm than 2000.
