Cool, good starting place. Oldseddie I live in Asheville, pretty cool. And what exactly do you mean by get a manifold and vacuum? And where do I pull it down as low as possible and see if what holds? Yeah, dainternetguy, I figured the guy was full of it, but it gave me an angle to talk him down $900 from his asking price.. which may be what I spend to get it fixed. oh well

Hello All! I recently purchased a beautiful '88 Pioneer Comanche. The A/C does not work. Heat works, fan works, but no cold air. The seller said that he re-charged the a/c but to no avail. I plan on re-charging myself, just to make sure. After that, I have heard I could replace the pressure switches (hi/lo pressure switches?), and maybe "one other switch"?? If those are not the problem, I need a new Compressor, which I know would be expensive. I'm obviously no mechanic, but I'm persistent and resourceful. 1) Does anyone have an additional thought? 2) Does anyone have simple step-by-step instructions to purchasing and changing those switches? 3) Also, I have heard of installing an electrical fan; cools engine and acts as a/c while the engine is powered/revved? (probably beyond my capabilities, fortunately I have savvy friends) Look fwd to reading replies! thanks!

I really appreciate it folks I love Comanches!

Does anyone know where I can get one of those shiny Metal Coolant Bottles? Mine is plastic and cracked. Thanks for any help.
