A/c No 134 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Someone I talked to at the boneyard was telling me there was some stuff he'd seen at the swap meet to recharge your A/C system, without having to convert over to 134.
Any of you guys had an expierence with one of these products?

There are plenty of products available for doing it. Just do a google search for r-12 or freon and you will find the distributors, on thier sites you will see all the other products. You have to be careful what you put in there though. There are lots of products that are LPG based. Thats right propane, it is a great refrigerant. I don't want to start an arguement about fozgene gas, but if propane has a slow leak in your car it will puddle with potentially disasterous results. All in all R-12 is not as expensive as peolpe think it is. Look on e bay for freon to get a good idea what it really sells for. You still need a license to buy it, which you can get online, if you can't find the online license at some of the e bay dealers let me know and I'll hook you up with a web site. Cost for the license is about $15.
