WOooHoooo!!!! A/C Again

Well, I've had my RS for 5 years and never had A/C that worked. $300 and I got a compressor, Receiver/Drier, Oriface Tube, and new hoses. I converted to r-134 and it blows cold once again!!!

Congrats I've been wanting to get mine working also... It just needs a charge, cause it still has pressure, and the compressor kicks on and off every few seconds if the a/c is on. Damn this r-12 hahah.

Yeah, mine had a big hole in the low pressure hose where a rat decided to eat some freon for lunch. Had a hell of a time getting through the packaging though.

Got everything evacuated and filled today and the thing works brilliantly. Blows air out @ 45*F. Made for a nice comfortable ride home today.

You can definitly tell that there's a 2.8L under there when the compressor kicks on though...lol

Id much rather cut my roof off and remove my ac


But them prices sound very good as I know a compressor alone can cost upwards of 150+.
