Every ****ing year this truck has a new reason to **** out all of it's refrigerant and force me to spend way too much time and money finding and fixing it. I'm so sick of it. Why do these systems such so bad?

One year it was the evaporator coil...what a fun job that was.

Next year it's the accumulator.

Now...who the **** knows. I put 12oz in it, and I had cold air for literally 20 minutes and then it was back to being hot.

O, and the best part, when the AC fails, if you try to get extra airflow (because you live in the city and idiots can't drive more than 30 mph so you get no wind with the windows down) it actually blows HOT air. Not ambient temperature air...but HOT *** AIR only. So you get HOTTER from putting the fan on.

I'm so ****ing over this.

 

I keep a vacuum unit and gauges around to connect and to pull a vacuum on the system, then add R-134a refrigerant. When I'm experiencing a leak, it will typically hold for the warm season.

 

its near 20 years old. Your almost complete: compressor, condenser, suction and discharge lines and its all new.

 

So....you're selling it? You said you're over it so I assume you don't need any help.

Btw, never had any problems in 19 years but you have to have the correct lbs in the system or it will blow warm no matter what. Oh, dang, I helped anyway.

 

Hey if your selling I'm buying

 

Put some die in it and then find the leak/s. When you replaced the evaporator and accumulator did you put on new o rings? I also had mine for about 20 years and only problem was the evaporator sprung a leak. Replaced it and the receiver/drier with new o rings and it 's been working fine since then.

So i guess your next step is to do something like this?

 

^ i would have never thought of that, but that would be sweet if that unit had heat on it too. lol
