A/C shop in East Cleveburg? Akronish, perhaps?

[JeffJ60]

Anyone have a good recommendation for an A/C shop in the Streetsboro / Hudson / Stow area? I have some nice squealing going on, accompanied by lovely bubbling in the sight, and my coldest air would make a hair dryer blush...

Might be time for a R134 conversion and compressor, but I do not know if there are any leaks - thinking I should know that before going on an A/C buying spree, eh?

Appreciate any references you can offer.

The common leak on the FJ60 is the compressor itself. Much like the PS pump, it is a poor design that flexes under load and opens up joints to leaking. This is why the compresor is always oily on a FJ60.

FWIW, the compressor used on FJ62 and newer is a much better design. Unfortunately, it is not a drop-in replacement for the FJ60 compressor.

That's all I got.

Thanks Jim.

Actually lost a belt today (water pump) but caught it before it overheated too far. Thinking the belt may have been loose and contributing to the absence of the A/C, so, once I get the parts, I suppose I'll know. Thanks for your help as always.

Actually, if the smog pump turns out to be seized, it may be time for the Jim C. desmog / carb-o-rama... Heck, might be that time anyway...

I have an extra off of a 3fe if it will work

Anybody ever use the idler pulley from the 3FE to replace the smog pump, as in this thread? Would rather support James Tiberius Chenoweth and buy his if available, but thinking of alternatives in the event he does not have one handy... Toyota # 16630-61020.
