Dash / chassis air conditioner on FC

[Dan]

Does $932.08 sound about right for an R4500 condenser?

When I need a part, I go to the mfr. site, do a distributor search and go from
there. A few calls to various suppliers will reveal who has inventory and who
only orders when needed. The larger stocking dealers will usually give up the
good price as they like to turn over inventory. Any thing you need is as close
as the UPS truck. My local distributor is nice to deal with, but I have to stay
on top of them on pricing
as they are greedy and it takes them too long to get parts they don't stock.
Red dot has a good site, in fact I found the unit I decided on and told my local
guys what to order.

134A likes more condenser, you can't have too much. I used the old hoses, new
blower motors and had to change the expansion valve, stuff got in it. Flush
every thing you want to reuse and do up a new EV. It will all be good.

Thanks for your experiences and advice here! That really helps. I'm
going to try my luck with the existing hoses. I'll take it to a local
shop and see if they hold a vacuum and have them cleaned out. If that
looks good, i'll put on a new compressor and probably condensor, and
(hopefully) go happily down the road as cool as I want to be.

I did look into alternatives. There are aftermarket units that are
made for trucks and tractors that I could have used. They were
self-contained and the compressors would run off of 120v. After
talking to one of these manufactures (http://www.danhard.com) I decided
against it just because of capacity. The chassis one should put out
around 36,000btu. While even the largest 120v one would be 15,000 btu.

Thanks again,
Alan
