Now we just moved to Phoenix from Wyoming and now it’s my car and it hit 85° today and there is no way in heck I’ll survive when it’s 100+ if this is how it’s going to work. Try 115F in the shade here !!! My daughter has a 2013 Subaru which AC works fine, but that's 8 year difference in possible en...

Another GM "secret". Like the fuse for the ECM/OBD2 on my '94 Suburban was also the one with the label "Cigar" for the lighter.

Are you talking about an R-12 high side fitting adapter? I have one for GM-type, and one Ford-type which I still use on my '88 B2200. What vehicle/year? A couple of years ago I bought a pack of refrigerant charging hose seals like this. Good thing, I had one fall out of a hose fitting, and some wear...

I'm using 20+ year old 12 oz cans of R12. I suppose it is possible that they really are no longer 12 oz due to small leakage at the top of the can. Do these pressures indicate that the charge is a little low? My own 20 year old cans of R-12 are still fine. Before I vent the system and waste a bunch...

I would get a set of gauges, a can of refrigerant with oil, maybe with a little dye and top it off. If it is a slow leak and if your compressor can still develop good pressure, I'd run it for at least the upcoming summer season and see what happens. The leak check dye in the can can tell you where ...

Yet another "not better" better idea.

Keep it R12 That would be ideal, but I am concerned about long term availability of R12. Thanks. If you're in USA, there's a glut of R-12, as there are few actual uses for it. It's legal to use. Most of the R-12 vehicles are either off the road or those are amenable to conversions have been switche...

Yipes - I hope she didn't use the AC at all once that became noisy.

And there is AC flush that comes in an aerosol can, I've used that myself.

I can see the diagrams and pictures for the above.

I've purchased new seals for my gauge fittings in the past.
