#ad amzn.to/4cnmL9Z #ad amzn.to/4cIQNVu Couple of things. 1) I know there is a leak, so top it off every couple of years or spend a few thou to fix it "perfectly" on a 20+ year old car, your choice. 2) That scale was all over the place, disregard it. 3) I'll do another video on adding pag oil, stay tuned.

Or spend 10min to properly diagnose where the leak is, and then spend between $1.00 - $250.00 to repair the leak.

@@johnperez93640 Why does a dealer need 2 hrs labor to diagnose when it's so easy, hmm, troll.

[@johnperez93640]

@@1947froggy the dealer is a different situation. I was going based on the video of u doing it urself at home. Fixing ur own vehicle and not charging urself labor saves u thousands of dollars. Based on ur video, i was just suggesting that one would just diagnose it properly because ur not charging urself labor. Not a troll. Been turning wrenches and spinning sockets for 25yrs for a living working for myself. Not a troll. Just suggesting whats logical based on the video u posted.

@@1947froggy because dealers have lots of overhead that needs to be covered at the customers expense. Its the dealers protocol to upsell as much as possible for maximum profits each day. Lots of service reps actually get fired if they dont try getting as much as they can from the customers.

I've been pretty lucky with my 2006 GMC Yukon. It still blows ice cold with the original charge at 145,000 miles. I always have the Auto A/C on so the compressor is always running - perhaps this keeps all the orings and seal pliable???? On the other hand, our 2006 Honda Accord with the auto a/c and also always running, I've had to add R134 A every 4 years or so. A win for GM!

[@1947froggy]

Honda's leak it.

[@johnperez93640]

And also, on those trucks, its recommended to not connect the high side quick connect because the rubber shradder valve seal usually will leak.

Had to replace mine another video.

Gotta do a headlight resto vid next 😅

[@1947froggy]

I know, been a while, I have an old video of me doing this truck. :)

[@johnperez93640]

Where did u get that tank for $60? Ill buy every one they have in stock for that price.

[@1947froggy]

I wish, it was a few years ago, illegal now unless you are licensed hvac or live in a free state. Probably 5x the price.

@@1947froggy oh ok. The video being posted recently had me thinking this was recently also. Im 609 certified to be able to buy refrigerant in bulk at a cheaper price. 4yrs ago i remember buying 3 tanks at a time for around $90 each. A year later i went to buy 1 tank and was being charged for my usual 3 tanks. I said, no i just need 1 tank. They said, yeah thats for just 1 tank now. Took me about 20min to wrap my mind around it. Anyway. Thanks for the video. Keep on makin' em cold.

@@johnperez93640 You do know then, that a very small amount of leakage (at least in older systems) is designed in. In particular the compressor shaft seal leaks a little so the pag oil can lube the shaft. Topping off is a service item, like adding air to tires, air leaks out of tires too. Such is life. Thank you for posting, happy 4th!

@@1947froggy my daily driver is my 89 silverado with 154k miles on it. Havent needed to put freon since converting it to r134a. Been 10-12yrs. Friends tell me to turn the a/c down because theyre cold. Im seeing a steady pattern in these conversations. Doing things properly seems to give best results.

[@1947froggy]

@@johnperez93640 Amazing!

[@jtgrec3179]

You 132, did you mean 134?

[@1947froggy]

sorry yes 134a

[@bryantphil5577]

R 134a and you dont TOP OFF A/C the gas is not consumable it means there's a leak. This is NOT a proper way to do A/C and is an EPA violation

[@1947froggy]

Thanks for the comment. $2k-3K for a/c service v my almost free diy. Take your pick. Let's go Brandon!
