INFO:I have a 97, a few years ago my evaporator started leaking REALLY slow. So I put some stop leak in it and then it would hold for 2 months or so. Well for the last year my compressor has been going out.... grinding really loud and pulling volt gauge down to around 8 amps when I turn AC on.
SOOOO, I decided to buy a used compressor and put it in, but my mechanic is saying the stop leak goop will ruin his $10,000 vac machine. He also tells me after I "open" the system by putting new compressor on, it won't take the AC from a can because there is no vac.
QUESTION: Can I vac my system down from home? Do I need to add anything else to system to make sure I don't ruin my new compressor?
Thanks guys, I know alot of things about jeeps, but NOTHING about how an AC system works.
