Have a a/c shop do it so they can reuse your r12.<br /><br />R12 is a colder gas than the R134. If you convert to R134 you have flush the system of all the R12 oil and still change the dryer to do the swap correctly. The only real nice thing about R134 is that you can buy the gas yourself but to charge it, you need to be able to pump down the system. If you dont have the tools to do it, I say stick with the R12.<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 19, 2010, 08:19 PM: Message edited by: Secnd2nun64 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>84SVOrick</b> <br /><small>Member # 9039</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(2010,6,19,23,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You dont have toooo change the drier but make sure u switch to ester oil and evac the system <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Adam5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 6995</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(2010,6,20,0,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 84SVOrick:<br /><strong> You dont have toooo change the drier but make sure u switch to ester oil and evac the system </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">to properly convert the system you need to change the dryer. even if you put the system into a vacuum you will never get all the old oil and r12 out of the dryer <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>stangin'</b> <br /><small>Member # 514</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(2010,6,20,1,7,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i've heard that in a couple of years, they are phasing out r134. is there truth to this?
