80 series AC question please (it's that time down here).
i'm thinking of getting in and cleaning my AC condensor myself. at that point having a shop replace the dryer and expansion valve.
at that point do folks also go ahead and do all o rings and all hoses as preventive maintenance? or only if a leak is diagnosed?
obviously i will talk to whoever is doing the work but i figured to price parts and wanted to try to get up to speed a little more on this.
i had someone hook it up real quick as a favor and they said high side was high (260) when it should be 150-200 and low side was high (40) when it should be 20-30.
also the dryer was hot.
anyway aside from flushing the condensor and the evaporator and referring to FSM for actual specs i'm wondering about replacing hoses and o rings which seem to run a little of money in parts alone.
just trying to get my head around this a little more since a full boat repair seems like it could run into a good chunk of change.
not planning to tackle this myself at rhis point but would like to be able to wrap my head around it a little bit more if it comes to saving some money.
if i clean the condensor myself can i get it done with just new dryer and expansion valve.
right now it blows cool but not cold air.
(note brake lines are in this parts list).
