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.tdawg46 wrote:Would it be normal to leak that amount over 15 yrs? 98 Jeep xj

Re: Oil Balance Question
Thanks for the help. I'm almost finished with getting the condenser out. Evaporator has been reinstalled under the dash.

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
Typically, though, refrigerant is measured in ounces of weight while the oil is measured in fluid ounces. Myself: I've always added refrigerant oil by volume as well, using a plastic graduated cylinder. It's graduated in ml, so about 25 to 30ml for an ounce of refrigerant oil. I do have an electron...

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.
