Change everything over to -134a, this way if you've ever got a problem..you can fix it/charge it yourself. The biggest hassle is swapping out the oil in the A/C compressor, as you have to remove it to drain it. There are kits you can buy over the counter to do all this. Basically, you need..<br /><br />A R-134a fitting kit (converts the fittings from R12 to 134a)<br />A seal kit (the o-rings are made from a different rubber than the R12 versions)<br />A oil charge kit (R12 and 134a use a different compressor oil)<br />4 cans of R-134a w/ a servicing hose..<br />And a new Accumilator/Condensor. (You don't want old R12 oil and the new stuff mixing..it stinks!)<br /><br />Also, if you don't have the C-clip tools (for disconnecting the lines), you'll need a set to remove the lines from the evaporator and the accum/condensor. <br /><br />Think I've done this before?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>slidewayz94</b> <br /><small>Member # 3101</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,17,14,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I love the over the counter kits conversions kits, one of the first steps, dispose of old refrigerant properly most people just let it go into the atmosphere <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 17, 2004, 02:03 PM: Message edited by: slidewayz94 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>saleenmomo89</b> <br /><small>Member # 3251</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,17,14,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> how much do you think it will cost <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,17,15,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> A shop might charge you $30 to drain the system.
