Questions about A/C

[geezer101]

That's the pitfall of A/C is ensuring the system is sealed. My truck had the SD-508 compressor fitted but I went through my stockpile of spares and discovered I had a newer Nippon Denso compressor and cradle off another 4G6X engine that bolted straight up to my 4G63. It's smaller, lighter and more efficient. I have to get someone to modify the hoses as the connections are different but I really need A/C as I live in a city that is 0.3C short of the hottest capital on the planet. By the time you buy all the crap to charge the system and find a source to supply the oil and gas you are already handing over the same amount of cash for a shop to do it. Not a good investment for a job you'll only do once in a few years if you're lucky. Ask around, you might get lucky and find someone who is using propane mix (maybe even a truck refrigeration shop is worth a try...)

I take it you must have the dealer add on system since you used the sd508 compressor? i wonder if the mitsubishi one uses different seals that are more R134a happy? i will definitely ask around about propane though.
