I recently purchased a 1993 Ford E350 (1 ton Van 7.5L MFI OHV 8cyln) down in Texas. The plan was to fix it up quickly and come back up to Washington, but I've been delayed with a series of issues. I've learned a lot about fixing vehicles yourself, so it's not entirely wasted I suppose.
As one last fix I wanted to get my A/C working before braving the southwest desert. The pressure is non-existent when I hook up my A/C gauges, so step one is adding refrigerant. There's a sticker under the hood (see attached images) stating that the system has been retrofitted with R134a, so I'm good to go there. Unfortunately I can't find the original sticker, I think they took it off, so I can't go by the 80% rule, and the capacity written on this new label is impossible for me to read.
I inverted the colors to try and get an idea, the closest I can come up with is "8cuooS" which is not helpful to anyone as it's clearly not the case. I know I can use my gauges and take temperature and relative humidity into account, but I would much rather use my gauges and reverse scale to fill it to the appropriate capacity after I vacate the system with my vacuum.
Do any of you have an idea what a 1993 Ford E350's original capacity was? Keep in mind I DO have rear A/C which I'm not really screwing with as it was built over with cabinets by the previous owner, however I'm uncertain if the capacity is hooked into "one" system or they are completely separate. If they're separate I'm only dealing with the front. My VIN is 1FBJS31G2PHB39915 for specificity.
It has been too long so I’m not 100% sure but there should only be one system even with the rear air. Someone here might know the answer but you should ask your question in the 1968 to present E-Series forum.
