Re: Walmart out of r134a refrigerant in Kentucky

Walmart historically has had poor inventory control. Stay away from R134a that contains leak sealer of any kind. https://www.autozone.com/a-c-charging-and-refrigerant/r134a-refrigerant/p/shoppro-r134a-refrigerant-12oz/3275_0_0 https://www.amazon.com/Chemours-National-Refrigerant-Self-Sealing-Contain...

Re: Compressor Won’t Shut Off, Freezing Evaporator

Thanks again Tbird. My thought was that putting a cutoff switch in the wire from the LPCO would stop the compressor from running when the switch is open. Does that make sense? It is much easier to get to than the wire to the compressor. Yes, that would work to interrupt the circuit. Can someone com...

Re: Compressor Won’t Shut Off, Freezing Evaporator

On most modern vehicles, the compressor comes on when in the defrost is switched on. And on some, I've read that that the compressor stays on until the ignition is switched off. See if that happens with your Jeep.

Re: 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

Let's wait until we get further clarification from the owner, thanks. By the way, I now have newer computer with Windows10 and Avast antivirus software, and when I go to the forum site I get the following message, which doesn't come up for any other site. I'll send you a screen capture of that in an...

Re: 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

It's an A6 by your part number. Hub/bearing fail all the time on those. Resurface the clutch pulley, bearing, and hub. A6 will always leak for the most part. If it still has some refrigerant. I'd do the clutch rebuild first. Swap oil and accumulator and see what you get with R134a. The old caddy sh...

Re: 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

Thanks, all. I will pass on your responses to him; he lives in Prescott, but his two kids live in Phoenix, so he might be amenable to a repair shop here. I'll let him make the decision, don't think I should get involved hands-on other than bypassing the compressor with shorter belt so car is driveab...

Re: 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

I will pass on the suggestions to the owner. The car is a family "heirloom", in pretty nice condition for its age, and not a show car. Would anyone link good instructions on how to replace a compressor clutch on this, like with any extractor/installer tools? I have pulled AC clutches on ab...
