I have been thinking about fixing the A/C in my truck(91 Ranger 3.0). It was empty when I got it in 2005 so I took it to a shop and had it converted to R134a and sucked down and charged. The shop said it wouldn't hold a vacuum and they couldn't find the leak their UV dye either. It did end up leaking out mostly so I charged it up with some leak sealer and r134a in a can from walmart and it worked fine for almost a year.
Anyways, when I did get it charged by the shop it was cold, but it wasn't real cold so I have been doing some research and it looks like they changed compressors/condensers at the same time they switch from r12 to r134a. I am curious as to if anybody has put a compressor and condenser from a r134a year truck in one that was originally r12.
I have a vacuum pump and manifold gauges to charge the A/C as I replaced the compressor and all the o-rings in my ford contour a couple years ago without it leaking out, and I just want the A/C to be in my truck to be as cold as it is in my car I plan to go through and replace all the orings, compressor, and condenser to ensure a leak free system.
