AC Charging

AC Charging
My 1990 f 150 had no AC since I got the truck. Mechanics said $200 - $400 to change to R134
And replace high pressure lines. Compressor seems to work ok. I had a crazy idea of finding a nameless refrigerant on the Internet and charging it myself to see if it might just need to be charged. I attempted to vacuum out system and added charge and it actually blows cold air now😀 my fuse blew since it was a 15 amp should be 30amp but all went as was supposed to as soon as I started filling system compressor engaged. Is it normal for the compressor to go off and on often it should it stay on longer if Ac is on full?

r 12 and see if it works. And a couple weeks later it's still holding up.

Shush that talk and don't let my 89 Ranger hear such things! I recharged the system with 134A eight years ago and didn't change anything, just vacuumed and recharged with 134A.... I'm not recommending this but I can still run the fan on low and freeze myself out of the truck and only lose 1/4 can a year. I do have a spare bigger compressor pump sitting on my shop shelf anticipating it's failure and did have the part numbers for full the conversion but it's still blowing ice cold air.
