Getting the A/C working

Postby JustinRhodes » Sat May 26, 2012 6:12 pm

What are some things that I should replace while I have it all apart trying to get it working? Truck was factory A/C but the compressor has never been on the truck since I have had it. It still has everything as far as I know besides the A/C compressor.

Replace the drier, it's probably no good now since the compressor was off.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

Expansion valve/h-block thingy wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Yep, more than likely seized,stuck after setting idle. As Mr Toombs suggested the dryer will definitely need to be changed because of a desecant bag in there that's suppose to take out moisture in the system.
If the lines have been open for a long time,it might pay in the long run to run some a/c flush thru the entire system. To push out any kind of debris that has found a home there

So compressor,lines, dryer, expansion block, and a flush. Anyone think of anything else? I'd rather only have to do it once.

Evaporator core in the dash if you are replacing everything.

Aint no way I'd replace all that :lol: I'd try it first with the three major things with the rest flushed. Freon is cheaper than the other parts ;)
