i personally think hes full of shit, but thats just me, so just answer here

Turning on the A/C turns on the electric fan, thus cooling the engine extra on non-hot days or at freeway speeds. [patriot]

Now when are you going to change the picture in your signature? Besides your sig being excessive and kinda getting old, I heard this one was bigger: http://www.californiafords.com/album/00000040/image219.jpg

hmmmmmmmmmm i was thinking that that one might be about the same size, but not bigger, tires are definately smaller though

what size tires do you have?

the A/C will put a load on your engine and therefore the overall heat of the system will eventually increase. However, the A/C is usually tied to spin the fan as st5150 says. Generally speaking, the fan will aid cooling.

but if the fan is already on, the A/C will bring the heat up. Why? 2nd law of thermodynamics. [patriot]

what about turning on the heater will that cool down the engine?
