Automotive Air Conditioning Information Forum

I can see this post.

I think "traffic" on this site is way down because folks don't try or can't fix stuff anymore...or maybe "magic fix in a can" products have ruined many systems already.....

By the way, the evaporator I bought from you in 2000 and the compressor I bought from you in 2014 are still humming away producing cold air in my 1988 Mazda truck, which is still using R-12.

I had locked all the threads for a short time. Just turned the main section back on. I'm very busy and can't monitor the site like I once did. John said he would help in that regard. Nice old truck, sure it gets better fuel mileage than my 19 Tundra.

Actually, the carbureted 1988 Mazda truck (85hp) gets 18mpg at best, always has, and I've had it since 1994. My 1998 and 2004 Nissan Frontiers are 4-cylinder with 143hp, and they both get 26mpg; the 1998 Frontier at 295K miles (mine since 2004) is still on all its factory AC parts except for a replacement high pressure line and me removing one shim from its AC clutch.

2019 Tundra gets 11.5.

Nice vehicles, and the new logo looks great!

Thx, John. Again, thanks for keeping an eye on the forum. I think we can be a little more relaxed on links, as long as they are nto blatant advertisements. I'm only unlocking the a/c section of the forum. There is enough data for other people to search things out.

Thanks to Cusser as well. I know he keeps an eye out as well.

Mrs. Cusser's 2014 Yukon Denali with 6.2 engine gets 16mpg unless she's towing a horse. Hopefully its 6.2 engine with AFM is more resistant to the lifter issues of the later years. I did install an AFM disabler module.
