    Events/Trails Tucson Monthly Meeting

    Thanks John. That William has stuck through the mess is a testament to some inner strength. They could have done what the CEO said when they announced the takeover that "we're going to let Merle's be Merle's". Yeah, right...

    GPC, the corporation that bought Merle's, has done nothing but run Merle's off a cliff.

    FJ62 A/C cooling issues

    This sounds like an expansion valve problem. The only way to know for sure is to have gauges attached when it looses cooling. If the low side is extremely low or into vacuum, it's time for a new expansion valve and drier.

    A/C tools/compressor

    Yes, they are smaller in diameter. I've found that an old inner tube or something similar will make up the difference.

    FJ62 compressor replacement and 134a conversion

    It took me forever to get an answer from Denso years ago, and they said exactly the same thing. FWIW all aftermarket driers that I know of, are compatible with both refrigerants.

    80 series AC intel?

    From the pressure readings, it could be overcharged (anyone work on the system recently?) or another possibility is the fan clutch isn't doing it's job. It's normal for the drier to be hot. I'm not sure what replacing the expansion valve & drier will accomplish. Usually if the expansion valve is...

    'Mud pet memorial thread

    Now that the holidays are mostly done and the initial shock has worn off, we need to share the passing of our beautiful, sweet Sam, at 5:55am on 12/23. He spent the evening of 12/22 in distress, with us laying close to him, asking what he wanted and needed. Eventually, after many attempts to...

    Substitute for AT-205 Re-Seal

    We have customers using both the LG-Fixx (it has the exact same chemical makeup as AT-205) and Lucas 10008 PS stop leak with positive results.

    Substitute for AT-205 Re-Seal

    Lubegard LG-FIXX is a similar product, supposed to do the same thing.

    Help figuring out what A/C compressor to get

    The Denso 471-0204 is the correct compressor for the FJ60's. It will have the correct pulley and comes with oil for R12. If you're converting to R134a just drain the oil and replace with PAG46.

    Rear AC not working on UZJ100

    It's probably most likely, but there could be another issue, I'm just not sure what else it might be. If you end up replacing the expansion valve, check for debris in the lines and replace the drier, which is attached to the side of the condenser.

    Rear AC not working on UZJ100

    The front and rear units both operate off the same compressor and are interconnected. It's possible the rear expansion valve has failed and is keeping the rear from cooling. Leaking lines to the rear unit is a fairly common issue on the 100 series if you find you're having to add refrigerant.

    Barn Find 83 FJ 60. Did I do ok? Not operational Need help with where to even start

    Looks like the A/C system is missing, or at least the engine compartment stuff. I'd try and source a complete system from one in the MUD classifieds.

    AC compressor running HOT

    Perhaps I misunderstood, but you are running the compressor on air not refrigerant? If that's the case, there's no heat transfer taking place and the suction side of the compressor, which would normally be receiving cool/cold refrigerant is ingesting hot air which would explain the compressor...

    FJ62 A/C Upgrade in San Francisco BayArea

    The original system (R12) uses mineral oil for lubrication. R134a systems use PAG oil as the R134a won't carry mineral oil and you don't want to have the compressor run dry.

    AC troubleshooting in a 99 LX?

    Did the shop leave the system empty when they returned it to you? The only way they could have vacuum tested it was if the system is empty. Sometimes leaks aren't obvious under vacuum as it pulls things together, then under pressure, they're pushed apart. Did they put it on a lift and check the...

    Issue with A/C

    I don't see that Denso sells just the clutch for the compressor. It looks like it might be tough to find. Ranshu in Reno shows to have stock of new clutches, part #15-3031N. 1-800-628-0474
