I have an old truck (89 F150 with under 90k) that still runs on R12. The AC is blowing warm. I've been trying to find a place that can do one of two things.
Either fix and recharge the R12 or do a retrofit to 134a. I've had no luck at all on the former, and on the latter the quotes have been nuts. Over 1k for a retrofit. From what I understand it's basically vacuuming out the remaining r12, changing o rings, changing condenser oil, and recharging. I know you can get a DIY kit for about $50 so over $1000 seems very high. However, I've not found someone who specializes in auto AC and thought I might have better luck at a place that does.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
