How hard is this to do? Jiffy lube told me 85 bucks and thats with a "deal" cuz the manager hangs out with us local stang guys. I was in autozone though and saw the ac recharge kit for like 40 bucks. Is it worth doing myself

 

In my opinion, you shouldn't need a recharge on an 03 vehicle, and I wouldn't let Jiffy Lube do anything on my vehicles. They're know for their ripoff tactics. If the A/C is working, leave it alone. If its not, go to an independent service shop that's known to be honest and to do good work at a decent labor cost (ask around -- you'll find one) and have it checked.

 

It is prolly for his stang, not his ranger.

 

no its for my ranger. Im friends with the manager he always hooks me up with oil changes and you can hear something click on and off when the air is on and he said i need to get my freeon refilled?

 

is the air cold? if not, recharge/refill.
that click, is just the compressor for the A/c

 

You dont just recharge an a/c system. This is a sealed system. The only way refrigerant can get out is if you have a leak. Dont just "recharge" the system, find the leak and fix it. A/C repairs can be costly, but do it right. Whoever is calling it "freon" shouldnt refer to it as that. R134a isnt freon, it is a refrigerant though... If you were losing brake fluid would you just keep filling it up? I sure wouldnt... Have a trained professional do it right.

 

Our systems normally click jeenyus
