Well I think it was about 3 months ago I called around asking about recharging my system with R12. At that time the only shop with R12 said he had just recently ran out and would have to order more. He told me about 100 dollars per pound used.
I just called him today and he told me the new price was 230 dollars per pound. F
K that.
Then I thought about going to the R134. It seemed like a reasonable replacement and a DIY conversion with only a few parts.
After doing more reading I came across FREEZE12 on mud. This might be the best route for me. But I have a few more Q's.
I am still in the process of converting our FJ62 to a desmog'd 2FE.
The A/C was pulled from the truck to make it an easier job. So it has been exposed for some time now. I will buy a drier as mentioned in other threads. I am also thinking of dumping the oil and replacing it with the FREEZE12 kit. What are the thoughts on opening the compressor up and replacing some o rings?
