Brought a can of Arctic Freeze Ultra Synthetic R134a

http://www.toolhawker.com/Arctic-Freeze-Ultra-Synthetic-R134a--Refrigerant---18-oz.-Can-with-reusable-trigger-dispenser_item_38401.html

from walmart.. was pretty expensive.. cost $34 but it was worth it. My system blows cool now once you get the car moving after turning the a/c on. These underdrive pulleys really kill alot of things if you aren't looking for power.

Once you get rolling the air is ICE COLD... the vents are sweating with water vapors and if i turn the a/c off and open the windows my glasses fog up. (only use my glasses for night driving :icon_rr: )

So, anyone out there with a semi warm/cold blowing a/c.. try this stuff or the stuff without the leak sealer.

SRT Handz has a thread on here which helped me abit.

I used that to recharge the system on my 95Gt and it does work great! I literally use to freeze if I put it on high! unfortunately my 96Cobra has a leak somewhere and I need to recharge the system every month or so! :sad4: so I go low budget until I finger out what to do with the a/c on the Cobra

for about 130 you can get it recharged at a shop, and have a dye put in then go back and have them diagnose the leak for you and then you will know how much a repair will cost.

I need to pick some up for my Mustang.

I had to recharge my Bronco and was amazed at how much better it blew.

I have NO idea how people DD there stangs with an A/C delete in hot weather.
My car feels like a new car just because the A/C works lol.

No doubt.

I ride everywhere with the windows down, but that doesn't mean my A/C is blasting either. Its just too hot to not have it going. I about smother in my 67 unless I'm on the highway

I was just going to post about this. I cruised last night with the windows down but still needed Max A/C on 3/4. Is there a way to avoid getting all that condensation on the vents?
