Some type of solenoid on the firewall??
Yup, I concur. The vacuum switch that's right above to the left of the booster, that looks almost identical to that one, is your lock-up switch. HotRod started an info. Fail thread on it, if I remember correctly.- VAL

R12 TO R134 Conversion
Took some good advice and have been enjoying the cold air in my truck!:grd: -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
That makes me very curious, because the inlet and outlet temperatures on my condenser tubes are night and day. One is very very cold to the touch, and the other is extremely hot, and its working exceptionally awesome. -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
Here's a short vid of my compressor cycling. I had blower fan blower fan on low, and it was cycling. When I put the fan on high it didn't cycle as often. I still have to play around with my pressure switch a little, I think it cycling to fast. Oh well, I'll get it dialed in here pretty soon... -

R12 TO R134 Conversion
The pressure switch will cut power to the compressor at a different points, depending on charge, ambient temperature and humidity factors. When I first started to charge my system, the compressor kicked on after about 1 1/2 cans into it, then cut out. After the second can is kicked in for a... -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
I rented a 2.0 cfm vacuum pump from Autozone, hooked it up to my manifold gauge set, opened up the valves, let it run for a little over an hour. They also had(rented me) the flush canister, you have to hook it up to an air compressor, and buy the solvent. It was like $130 for the rental, got it... -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
Where the hoses connect to the compressor, there's 2 sealing washers, they were shot. Also, when I put everything back together after the flush, when I was pulling vacuum, the new pressure switch was leaking. I come to find that the pressure switch seals better if you just hand tighten it. I had... -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
I had my a/c redone a few years ago with the original R12 refrigerant. It worked good for a couple years, until it developed a leak somewhere, and I lost my R12 pressure, compressor wouldn't kick on, warm air through the vents etc. When I went to the shop to have it diagnosed, they told me I... -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
Today I put the gauges back on the truck, everything is running normally. The cycling is different today. I have been doing some reading on it, and it seems that ambient temperature & humidity play a role on how the system works. I currently have 42oz of R134a, 6oz of oil, according to the... -
R12 TO R134 Conversion
Well, I finished up my conversion. I ended up flushing the evap, condenser, and hoses with mineral spirits then 2 quarts of AC Pro flush, pulled vacuum for 1 hour, New orifice tube, O-rings, new sealing washers for the hose ends on the compressor(which may I add, were a bitch to find), new... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Did you just tweak the tube a little, left it off, changed out bolt?, What year/make/model came with a cs130? Gonna go get one tomorrow, want to know what to ask for. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Did you have to change the pulley on it? I'm thinking I want to do this mod. Tired of my dim lights and slow windows & slow wipers. -

R12 TO R134 Conversion
This is the retrofit kit I bought, The cans of refrigerant already have oil in them. Do I still need to add oil to the compressor, condenser, and drier? Or will this work just how it is? -

Spark plug differences question
So I went to put new spark plugs on my truck today. My truck is an 86, but its got a newer 92 carbureted TBI head engine. I got home started pulling the plugs and to my surprise, the new ones were shorter. Here's some pics. I installed them anyways, and my truck runs so much better &...- VAL

What about the oil that's in the compressor, is there a special way to flush it? Does it need to be removed? -

Wider wheels and tires
If you go 35s with a 14" wide wheel, your gonna need a 6"lift, or quite a bit of fender trimming.- VAL

replacing front wheel studs
You might as well think about going up in size also, 9/16 or 1/2". Much stronger. How did you break them?- VAL
