A/C not working
Well I suppose it's a good thing I haven't had to post a problem in a long time.
Life has been very busy which sucks.....hate not being active on here.....anyway. It's getting hot here and my account doesn't want to blow cold. I went to add some freon today but it was full (scared I had a leaky condenser) Other than blowing hot it seems the compressor clutch cycles every few seconds and only for a few seconds. Any ideas??

That gauge on the can attempts to show the low pressure side. I would not trust it much. I did that once and the system started to vent when the compressor turned on. Overcharge and the gauge on the can was in the green.
I just recharged my Suburban. Bought the gauges and vac pump. Changed the receiver/drier and orifice tube. Vac'ed the system, charged based on the proper charge for the vehicle and I am blowing in the low 40 degree range consistently .

Nice....well I was low on freon. Got a neighborhood buddy to hook is gauges up....he put a can in and it's blowing cold. Now my question is how long it will last. I must have a leak somewhere....for another time I guess.
I do need to get some gauges and a vac pump to do this stuff myself.
