Yeah, your right @WarWagon, I was trying to remember when they started using 134A. I had 96 stuck in my head but then I snapped as my 95 is 134A. it was introduced in late 92 and was in full use by mid 93. iirc GM was the first to use 134A since they were partnered with dupont. this truck...
LOl I sure would look funny running down the road with a window unit hanging out from one of the back doors HAHA. I could even get fancy just having the unit strapped in the bed and run some duct (pvc pipe or something to withstand the wind) in to each window.
Honestly a little $100 5k btu...
I scoured through my phone looking for a photo I took hoping I had one showing the lines on the condenser. this one pic was all I had. I do recall the lower line is shorter than whats on the 95. looking at this pic, this line is also not straight. I don't remember if it was but I doubt it...
I will look again at the wiring but when I was cleaning up a lot of what the PO did I think I looked over that side of the engine looking for the connector that was MIA for the low pressure cycle switch. everything looked factory. I disco-ed the clutch and folded the connector back in case it...
It's old and crusty. hasn't been in service since 2009 and as far as I know has been missing the dryer since then as well so the whole system has been open to the environment all this time. Just because I can turn the clutch by hand doesn't mean it will work LOL. I am sure the compressor is...
I was planning on just flushing everything out. hoping both the condenser and evap was clear. it's been open to the environment for several years, so I'm sure it all will need to be replaced at some point.
I also forgot about some of the 30lb bottles I acquired a while back free off the FB...
The condenser looks factory but is beefier than what's on my 95. the retrofit kit is just a couple of fitting that replace the old threaded r-12 service port so the 134a quick connects on the gauge manifold will connect.
Today I was thinking about looking at what it would cost me to round up all the parts needed to get the AC working in my 93 since as we say it here in Texas, "Were about to step off from hell's front porch".
I put a parts list together and here is what I have so far, as to my knowledge the AC...
@Tinker Which box was this? I had been looking at the one listed on RA, I believe their part number was 3000 iirc. I noticed their price is about half what other sites sell them at.
I need to scrounge up and buy one for my 95.
Is the intake boot real rubber? if so, maybe a rubber grommet with some of that vulcanizing compound for tire patches will make the grommet and boot one piece. that would make the bib have a tighter fit possibly?
