If there's no pressure on the low side does that mean there's no pressure on the high side? I don't want to tear apart the evaporator core if its unsafe.

yes I'm guessing it's a big leak.......

it was blowing warm before going to my buddies shop. I wasn't sure what was wrong with it because I've only owned it for like 2 months and bought it without the AC working.

I was able to check the low side pressure and there was none. I tried to override the compressor to get it to engage but was not successful. Is my next step to tear apart the dash and take out the core and check the expansion valve?

I'm going to see if I can find some pressure gauges and check the pressure on the low and high side next. Will follow up with my findings ASAP. Thanks for all the great ideas.

No bubbles in the sight glass what so ever

looks likes the compressor is NOT engaging when the A/C is turned on. Does that mean there's low pressure on the high or low side and won't allow the clutch to engage?

No I've tried it twice now since the trucks been off for 2 to 4 hours and nothing but warm air blowing out when the A/C is on.

I went to a buddies body shop who has an A/C machine to refill the refridgerant. He tested the system and it showed no signs of leaks. When I left the shop the A/C was blowing ice cold but by the time I got home the A/C was not working and the system was blowing warm air. If the system isn't...

I couldn't resist so I put the 35's from my fj40 on my new LX450. Now it's time for a lift.

How much lift is on your LX450? I really like the stance and what's the exact size of your 35's. Did you have to change gears for the 35's?

Those V-Strom's are nice bikes. I have a Ducati Hypermotard at my moment......love the dirtbike stance with the street tires. 3 inch lift is a great idea because I don't want it too high. My FJ40 is alright lifted like six inches and on 35's. Might do a 3 inch lift on 33's for the FJ80.

I'm going to turn this into my intermitten driver/trail rig. I ride my motorcycle most days to work so I'll drive this in bad weather. I want to put a lift new wheels and tires. I'll start researching the best lift kits for these soon.

Picked this up last night. Looking forward to modding it with suspension wheels tires etc. Has roughly 240k miles and is in great shape. Needs an ac coil and some cosmetic clean up. Cheers, Steve

Found this ad locally on craigslist and wanted to get your opinion on whether this was a good deal or not. Thinking of buying it, installing all the goodies it comes with and then selling it. What dollar range should I be in to buy it and then what should I sell it for if I flip it? 1997...
