Well, the AC was not All Cool any more so I looked to see what could be done with R-12 substitutions...
So checked out the Compressor to see if it could be used or retro-fitted for use with R-134a so I could do a conversion and low and behold!
Somebody had beat me to it!
So went and got the can of R-134a with the gaugy thingy, A/C PRO 20oz can, snapped it on the fitting, shook & squeezed... WOW Instant RED ZONE CRAP.
One has to be sure to turn the valve on the back of the compressor to mid position or it is sealed of from the service port. DOH! :mad:
Well that done, Sure enough , reads about 15psi :pray:
So, :pray: shake / squeeze, :pray: shake / squeeze, :pray: shake / squeeze Now it shows about 45psi
and nicely in the green zone! :bacondance:
And yes, my daily 3 hour commute is now my "Chill Out" period of the day again!
Being in Texas, that is a must!
