I asked Sal and he said he never even disconnected a line,
so I guess it leaked out Never did that before
But here it is, the first hot day of the year and no frigging AC
@^%(#@%(@#$%($@#%($

ANYONE ELSE ???

Ok I got to go find me a refill kit at auto zone

this is where it goes right. I know there is a hi press side and low press side, just want to make sure I got it right.



THANKS

 

there is a high pressure fitting and a low pressure fitting. Make sure you use the low pressure one!

Yeah My Grand Cherokee Needs a recharge after winter also. Found out the hard way.. Fricking Detroit Rushhour traffic.

 

rob, that is the hi pressure fitting. you need to find the low pressure one. it is down by the dryer (large black cylinder on the firewall)

 

Yea, mine needs a small shot as well. I noticed that the compressor cycles on/off about every 5 sec. or so on max. I was going to go by the dealer but I can't get an off day when it's not raining around here and I don't drive mine in the rain!! If I could find some "how-to" instructions I wouldn't mind doing it myself. Where can one find this info (with pictures/diagrams preferably??)


Ed

 

"YIKES" good thing I checked back before doing it
THANKS


Thats exactly what mines doing.
No directions needed Ed, you simply start it up, put the AC on Max, then screw the line onto the can, puncture it with the needle valve, snap in on the LOW PRESSURE SIDE, and open the valve and let it recharge. Some peeps say leave the can upright, I find it doesn't seem to matter, but then again I never read directions, hehehehe.

I guess I could go out there and take a few pic's while I do mine right now


Down by the dryer (large black cylinder on the firewall) hu ???

Ok lets go find us a dryer ????
THANKS ALL.....

 

make sure you stick your tongue to the can while your charging the system.. Honest it won't freeze to it

 

Yea, take some pics, Rob! I'll bet allot of guys will find they need a charge when they go to use the AC here soon!

Ed

 

You should also use "gas only" don't turn the can upside down. You can compress gas, but not liquid!! Warm the can with hot water to quicken up the process.
I just had another thought Rob, maybe Sal hooked your ac system to your intercooler like they were going to do on the Gen 3's!!! Darn Rob, you get all the cool Mod's!!LOL

For those that dont know

As Easy as

As my Brothers above said, LOW PRESSURE side is at the fire wall
right to the left of the PCV Vavle (down under)




There's a self piercing valve inside the valve
(make sure the valve is OPEN when you screw it on the can)


Oh Ya Raid Dads garage, somehow he finds the schitt for 2 something, when I paid 13.00 @($@#($%(#$%(#$

Make sure the snap coupling is clipped properly on the thingy

 

Once the tank is on the valve tight,
Close the valve, which actually pierces the seal



Open Valve in the FLOWING Position


Hang out, smoke um if you got um, wait till it stops cycling
AND YOUR DONE

 

Rob AC today It was so nice out. Just roll the windows down and let the air come in. But now I wonder if my truck is going to need the smae thing. Oh I am going to have to check before those really, really hot days.

 

Hot ?!?!? what are you from alaska Rob ?? lol today was perfect weather for all windows open cruising.....

 

Now just so we're all on the same page
That picture with the red circle IS THE WRONG FTG, hehehehe


And of course the Truck nees to be running with the AC on Max,
once you start charging


NOW DOES SOMEONE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSS
Sound after you shut the truck off ???

I remember hearing that in years past, thats normal right ?
SOB does it for a good 30-60 sec's, either that or my new freeon is leaking out ???

 

While we are on the A/C topic, has anybody removed theirs? That thing's got to weigh 200#, and that would come right off the front end.

 

I work in maintenance at the plant that makes the accumulator for our ac systems. The accumulator is where ur putting your coolant when charging.
