This weekend we went on a camping trip and whenever we would be at a stop idling the a/c compressor would start squealing like crazy. At first I wasn't sure what the heck it was but when I would switch off the a/c it would quit. So I'm assuming that my compressor has bit the dust. It's still blowing cool but not cold...at first I thought maybe it was just needing a re-fill....which it may be needing??
My question is besides the obvious that I have no way to capture the 134 (it's been converted) is there anything special to changing this thing out. Can I do it myself here at the house like you would change out an alternator or is there something special that needs to happen. I can prob change it out myself and re-fill it with 134 from Wal-Mart (sorry Mel) a whole lot cheaper than having someone else do it. Thanks in advance!
