Wondering, is there a way to check to see if my AC in my pick up has been to convertated to 134a or what ever it is? If it has not, is it hard to do? I was talking with someone and they said it is not hard but you have to capture the old coolant and dispose of it in a special way or something?

nope.. ok, I have never owned a car with AC before (or at least working) so I guess I am on my own on this one.

From what someone told me, after the conversion there is a different type of connector on the system for filling than the old systems. This is just info I was told one day so I'm not sure if it's true but that may be something you can look into.

When converting the old R-12 system to the new R-134a, new connectors are installed. Sorry John. I can't describe the difference between the old and new connectors. |

yup. real easy. evacuate system, thread on some fittings to the upper and lower end of the system and presurize to the specified presure for my system. r134 runs at a higher presure than r12 so you have to look under your hood take that number and presurize to 60% of it.

i've heard that "they" are comming out with a new type of refrigerant which blows as cold as R12, but as good for the environment as R134a, has anyone else heard about this? someone told me about it briefly last summer and i haven't heard of it since
