Finally charged my A/C

[4shongo]

Charged the A/C system last night with right at 4lb of 134A refrigerant. 35 psi on the low side and 225 on the high side. Seems to do pretty good. Obviously I must have a leak but if I can put a can in per year at $10 it isnt worth fixing. My rear system blows like crazy. The guy I bought it from last year said it just stopped working last summer. I guess I will have to wait and see how ong it lasts. Thats alot of cooling space in our big Burbs!!!

I have always wondered how the dual setups would cool the interior. I have a complete rear air unit I thought about putting in my Burb. I think I will go ahead and insulate the whole interior just in case I decide to install it. Let me know how it works when it gets warmer out.

Leon, I used to drive a sub at the factory between plants that had dual air and heat. Unless it was really hot sometimes I would just use the rear ac on high as I was driving. In the summer time if I was in a harnery mood I would turn on the rear heat just for the enjoyment of my dead beat passengers.

If you did that to me I would reach up front and ring your neck....

UPDATE TO AN OLD THREAD....

Well it is time to truly fix the A/C. The system lost it's full charge in less than a month and does not cool very well when the temps get around 90. It was changed over to a 134A system around 2000 I was told by the previous owner. Newer style 350 crate motor with serpentine set-up as well. Smaller pancake compressor. I'm thinking of changing out the expansion valve, pulling a vacuum and trying to charge it again in the next few weeks. I need a/c this year.
