Re: Peanut not sitting flush
Measure the depth of the fitting, and measure the depth inside the accumulator hole, to make sure that it CAN fit flush. Even try without the O-ring to see if it sits flush. Last year I bought a replacement high pressure AC line for my 1998 Frontier, the cylindrical fitting on the aftermarket fittin...

Re: Toyota Sequoia poor AC performance
Also check to make sure no heated air or outside air is getting mixed in.

Re: Toyota pickup AC questions
I think that some people rent those pumps from AutoZone, use them improperly (causing oil to spill) and then they run them while low or out of oil. This obviously causes irreparable damage to the pump. Last year, I was 100 miles from my own vacuum pump. I got the free loaner vacuum pump from local ...

Re: 2006 Silverado A/C
I have a 2006 Silverado that has Dual Zone front controls.My A/C works great but the drivers side will suddenly blow hot air while the passenger side continues to blow cold. If I turn truck off and restart they both blow cold again. I have just recently changed the Drivers Side Actuator door with a...

Re: AC Doesn't Work
Hello, new to this forum. How are you all doing? I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado that the AC only blows hot air. I attempted to add freon today, but instead I found a leaking hose that goes from the cannister to the condenser. I replaced that as it had developed a hole rubbing on a metal hose for 312...

Re: Not sure where to go from here
I don't see where such readings are of any value. Just shows you have some refrigerant in the system, in equilibrium between gaseous state (the pressure) and liquid.mrledee wrote:every morning when I check the truck before starting it up, both the high and low are at 100psi.

Re: Not sure where to go from here
This afternoon, at 80F, my low would cycle between 20-40psi, and the high would be sitting right around 150 (+/- 5psi or so). The compressor only kicks on for about 1-2 seconds and will stay off for 10-15 seconds (not sure if there is too much or too little freon). Those pressures are low if measur...

Re: Need Help- High Pressure on Discharge Side
Yes, the pressures I mentioned are appropriate for R-12 (I still have one R-12 truck myself). I've only added UV dye to ANY vehicle by pouring some in when the system was still open, or by adding a can of refrigerant that also contained UV dye (no sealers !!!) to the system. AGREE - poking a hole in...
