drcomanche Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Since my truck will be undertaking a cross country trip at the end of the summer, I have been looking into putting A/C into it. So what I would need is... Well, everything. I have the Control unit in the cab and that's it. Anything else related to air conditioning, I need. I can find some of the main components online, but the small stuff is the most difficult for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Can you be a little more precise in what you mean by "small stuff"?. I would not recommend any used components, except for maybe the vacuum tank. Rock Auto has the following at pretty good prices: Compressor - $272.00; Condensor - $160.00; Accumulator/dryer - $35.00; Expansion valve (H block) - $35.00. The large (high pressure) line and the Evaporator can be sourced locally (O'Reillys or NAPA), but the smaller lines would have to be custom made or purchased at the JY, as they are no longer made.

A/C system does not have a vacuum tank. The only part that looks like a tank is the dryer and should be replaced any time the system has been open.

Sorry, I typed 'vacuum tank' and meant 'vacuum cannister' that holds the vacuum so the A/C - Heater does not continously blow to defrost....
