My 2005 Yukon had hot air coming out of the vents, and turning off ignition and restarting the engine temporarily fixed it. I had a bad actuator so hot air was getting mixed in, replaced the actuator to fix correctly. You may be able to get by, by turning the actuator manually and unplugging its har...

New Member here. . . . First off, I don't know squart about AC systems except they're supposed to keep me cool. I recently recharged my system, with a DIY unit from a local parts store. I'm pretty positive that I followed the instructions properly, but now the compressor cycles on and off constantl...

I have aluminum line on the high pressure side and need to attach two tubes together. Can I use the flare fitting parts, which are brass, to connect two aluminum pipes to make one? I use these on copper tubing all the time for propane, but propane is typically very low pressure after the regulator,...

Thanks for explaining.

Cusser: The uninformed simply have no idea of the scale of the refrigerant business. Refrigerant is mostly recycled - well except for driveway pirate mechanics that vent it. My experience - which is small - is that automotive shops will credit one for the amount of refrigerant (either R-12 or R134a...

You might still be able to buy r12, but its time is limited. Very limited. Read your usa “clean air act” and you’ll see that production is banned. Cfc’s by 2015, hfc’s by 2030 Production is/will be banned, but there is still more than enough to go around. There's actually plenty of R-12, as few old...

I think you need to bump up the idle 200 rpm when the AC is on. You might need to rig up a mount for a solenoid of some sort, install a solenoid to the throttle arm. When you kick on the A/C, it will boost RPM at any rate you adjust the solenoid in the bracket to. Solenoid should be easily found at ...
