That's what I ended up doing. The one I put on is small but it's all the parts store had. When I get a chance, I'll put in a larger one. I bought one of those retrofit kits at advance and put it on. All it is is an adapter for both the high pressure and low pressure service ports and 3 cans of r-134a with oil in there. My A/C is definitely cooler but not cold. I put all three 12 oz. cans in, and the gauge still says 0 psi even though it's cool air now. Should I put more R134 in or should I put some UV dye in and check for leaks? The compressor used to cycle before I filled it, but now it stays on.Quote:

I read about that step, but kinda skipped over it in excitement that a whole 40 bucks could lead to a working A/C. Should I take it to a shop and have them vacuum the system and put new R-134a in? The can said it was compatible with R-12 so I figured it wouldn't hurt.Quote:

I won't use it until I get it vacuumed. I didn't read anything about changing the orifice tube. I'll see what money looks like then and maybe get a new compressor too. Then use this compressor on the other truck for OBA.
Edit: just checked the parts store website. Any reason why there's a $2 orifice tube and a $40 orifice tube?
yes
To need to replace the drier too while you have it apart.
anyone have the phpbb manual handy, might have to figure out how this ignore button, i've heard so much about, works.
Anybody know of any steering upgrades/solutions for a 2007 Dodge 2500? My tie-rod ends have had about all they will take.
Preferably I think I would like to get rid of the inverted y for a more standard cross-over type.
2008 and up steering is supposed to be alot better
