Does the R134A conversion really work???

[Ecomike]

My 85, 87, and 89 jeeps are all converted to R-134a, and they work great. Freeze the b*lls off a polar bear at about 85 to 90 F on Max AC, with fan on high.

You know there are people out there monitoring this web site and collecting this type of information to use agents us?????

They use this stuff showing that we are a bad influence to the environment. These are the same people trying to shut down the parks that we wheel in.

How about you all just Shut The Hell Up before you get the hole off-roading community in trouble.

Well, we can only comment on what we see. Recommending he go to a shop and have the ungreen r12 recycled and do recharge with green r134 is what the people in green helicopters want us to be saying.

Last time I checked here in Houston non of the shops had R-12 recycling equipment anymore. In fact all they will do is switch systems over to R-134a now, here in Houston.

It is getting real hard to find anyone in the automotive area with R-12 equipment anymore.

The commercial guys with R-22 equipment might still be able to recycle R-12, but they don't usually work on cars.

Another option would be to use synthetic R12. A buddy evacuated and charged up my R12 equipped Mazda and it's blowing ice cubes. I'm gonna have him do the same on the 92 MJ.
