A/C upgrade.

If I may, let me throw in my 2¢.

After running our factory original R12 configuration for 30 years,
the compressor finally died, which offered me the justification
for a complete refurbishment including the following.

1. New Denso compressor replacement.

2. New barrier hoses/connectors which I sized, cut & crimped.

3. Replacing the Pro Cooler.

4. Added a high flow evaporator w/new expansion valve.

5. Flushed both condensers and evaporator.

6. Transitioned to R134 refrigerant.

No other A/C component replacement.

As thstone stated we did have a bit of a heat wave this week.

Our location was about 97f.

For in-town driving, we held a center duct temp of about 52f
with the temp switch set at the #4 location, and the fan
to the #3 position (one below max).

Thanks to all on this forum who provided help & tech support.

Best,

Gerry
