Re: Installing Aftermarket AC in a Dodge Van

Correct me if I misunderstood. At first I think you mentioned a Sanden copy but later you mentioned a Denso compressor. Did you replace the former with the latter, or are they one and the same? It's the Denso. 471-7031 and its a brand new compressor. I was mistaken—its NOT the Sanden. I never insta...

Re: Installing Aftermarket AC in a Dodge Van

Ok, I just went outside and got numbers for ya. Current temp outside is 83* At 1500 RPM, in Park, Evaporator fan on full blast: Low: 50 High: 310 https://i.postimg.cc/R6p8tgLz/image.jpg At idle (750 rpm) the numbers were low: 60, high: 220. Vent temp was a pathetic 70*, with the van sitting still.

Re: Installing Aftermarket AC in a Dodge Van

Can you give us more details? Hose sizes you ran to the evap unit? Drive ratio crank to compressor pulley? How did you determine how much refrigerant to charge? What is the expansion device? Is there an accumulator or a receiver? A second evap unit will help total cooling power, but the air coming ...

Re: Installing Aftermarket AC in a Dodge Van
