Anybody know much about A/C?

[AKMark]

I must apologize I didn't know this was a serious no nonsense forum. I will refrain from commenting on the lighter side to your questions in the future if need be. As far as the door comment it is because it is a running joke with my family/friends because I grew up in little Jeeps and have never had a/c in them. If you were hot it meant you weren't driving fast enough.

I've only seen the guages being sold for around $80 and up which if you aren't going to use them a lot it doesn't seem worth the $ in my book. Although I didn't think about the skill shop on base maybe having them. If you have a sight port you can look for bubbles. If it has a lot/looks foamy it's low. (yes I know you've checked it but this is also a tell-tale sign which you can file away as useless knowledge)

Good luck.

I'm sorry if I came across as mad, I wasn't. Since I didn't know you I answered all the questions you sent in your first post.

I used to have a Trans Am and for the first six months I had it, I utilized 2-80 A/C. Worked well, until temps soared into the 110's, then I shelled out the money for R-12 and had 32 degree temps coming through the vents. I couldn't run the A/C for more than fifteen minutes straight on a road trip, and I love the cold. I miss that freezing cold A/C.
