The AEM-7 AC does fairly well in the heat. As long as the compressor oil coolers under the loco are kept powerwashed once a week and the glycol is kept topped off they run decent in warm weather. The DC motors usually didnt mix well with heat. the ACs were modified with an additional air vent system on the roof that the DCs were not, which is why the dynamic grids are scattered on the roof of the AC.
No good deed goes unpunished.
