    You can use the condenser as a cooler but it is unnecesarily huge for the task. I would fix the a/c though and just get an aftermarket cooler...

    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.

    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.

    I have a venturri vaccum pump and gauge manifold if you want to try to fix it the right way. You need a compressor for the vaccum pump though and I do not have one of those.

    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?

    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.
