Re: Full charge after only half the freon?

Maybe someone sealed off the lines to the rear evaporator on the Suburban?

Re: New compressor hard to turn by hand

Next time buy from Tim at Arizona Mobile Air !!!

I've bought at least three compressors and an evaporator from Arizona Mobile Air for various vehicles over the past 2.5 decades. And I bought a vacuum pump from them for my work laboratory.

Re: 2019 Chevy Sonic is blowing warm air and is making some type of rinsing noise.

Do you know how to visually check if the AC compressor clutch is engaging when the AC is on?

Not uncommon at all. Auto AC systems are designed to leak a tiny amount out of the compressor seal, to keep the shaft lubricated.

Re: Oil Balance Question

Thanks for the help. I'm almost finished with getting the condenser out. Evaporator has been reinstalled under the dash. One other question I have is about the factory specification for the refrigerant amount. The sticker under the hood says 23 oz, while the service manual states the capacity as 24...

Re: Dodge A/C Help

Would not hurt to check the AC clutch gap.

Had the gap issue on my '98 Frontier last summer, removed one shim to fix.

Re: 1969 Chevelle SS 396- factory air specs

Re: 1969 Chevelle SS 396- factory air specs

Not a ton of difference between oz. in weight and fluid oz.

1 fluid oz. is like 29.6 ml

1 oz. weight, USA is 28.4 grams, or like 28.4 ml if water.
