"AC just needs a charge"
- Thread starter rOmiLaYu
- Start date
I have a old 98 F150 with non working air that's white and a 91 Hardbody 4wd with non working air in black. Guess which one I'm driving until Fall.I don't know how you do it, man. Respect.
When I moved here in '93 from PA, my pickup didn't have A/C. That changed REAL quick.I don't know how you do it, man. Respect.
Naw bruh, I gotta stick with the old F1Fitty. That black Nissan is way too hot. And I'll have you know I ain't even sat in a Tempo since the 87 2 door 5 speed I had in 91.
Had a Honda van that the AC just wasn't cutting it one summer in Florida while the wife was visiting her parents. Since it was under warranty, my lovely bride took it to a Fl dealership that said the freon was "low". So they charged it.
A month later, back in Georgia, the AC just isn't acting right. So I took it to a dealer and the service "manager" (obviously never turned a wrench in his life) comes out to say:
"Your van had X kilograms of Freon!"
So I asked, "and how many kilograms should it have?"
He got that blank look so I ignored the signs and went into the bay and spoke with the mechanic.
Yes, it was overcharged a bit (like 0.05- 0.1 kg?), but he'd traced the issue to a bad relay. It was an intermittent fault. One new Honda relay, and voila`, problem solved.
Bottom line: even the dealer will be happy to "charge" your AC system if it means a making a buck.

I just got my AC fixed…
Ummm it's not freon, it's refrigerant 
Bring your junkers to me and I will see to it that you drive out with a better junker than you drove in with and I will have a pocket full of money
