after i installed the bl the a/c refrigerant hose rubber against a pulley and burned right thru (i even installed the little bracket the kit comes with). has anyone installed one? was it hard? should i change the hose or the whole kit? thx in advance. i need to repair it before july trip meet this weekend in socal!

 

mine did the same. i had to go to the junkyard to get it only charged me 25 dollars. it wasn't to hard to replace but if you drive your truck to much youll be replacing the compressor too. mine got bad to where i wore out the compressor and it made my belt start squeaking.

 

Same here. I got one off someone off rf. It wasnt to hard. Used the refridgent from autozone. Worked ok.

 

and once you put it on bend the hose away from the belt tensioner so it doesn't happen again. i recharged my A/C myself and its doing pretty damn good. i recharged it with a bottle of R134a with compressor oil and 4 bottles of regular r-134a

 

Did you pull a vacuum on it before hand?

I still need to recharge mine.

 

yes i had a vacuum. i had to replace the a/c compressor. the switch for my compressor went bad so it would stay engaged. i couldn't get a vacuum before i replaced it.

 

I hear ya. I need to go to Autozone and get this going. I'm tired of not having ac.

 

this is the exact way i did it. its really easy

 

Whatever u do dont take it to the dealer .I had the same thing happen and their price for a new hose and a recharge was close to 5 hundred bucks,all because the clip wasnt put on right. Well at least I dont feel bad now that I know others had it happen to them. Lifes a *****!
