Well my AC is somewhat cold but not ice cold. Truck still has the original R-12 as far as I can tell, no new nossle, and original sticker.
I looked into converting to R134A, kit is $50, but you need to evacuate the system, which sucks and more money ($80) or you can take the risk and hope it evacuates by releasing to the atmosphere (fines), my uncle said he could do it too, and has the stuff.
I stopped in the corner Auto Repair and they still have R-12 and will add a pound for $80-100, including labor!
Should I keep the old stuff (r-12) and have them add a pound or convert to the new (r-134A)? My dad was in the truck and said that the air was decent, but I think it could use a charge since it has been in there since 1992! I mean its cool, but not ice cold!
Thoughts?
