hey all,
I am working on the a/c system on my 93 K2500HD, and was needing some advice.
has anyone successfully gotten a A/c condenser cleaned out? the fins are so much tighter than a radiator, I am debating about giving up and buying a new condenser. half of them are folded over, and the other half are full of junk.
Also, the compressor didnt fully lock up, but something came aprt, as you can only turn it half a turn, then it hits something. did much for metal filings get in the system? do I need to change anything other than the orfice tube and receiver dryer?
What is recommended to flush a system?
Finally, do they make block off plugs to keep the system sealed, and remove the condenser? What style fittings are these? I am debating about plugging off the system to keep it sealed, and pull the condenser and put off the whole project till next spring.
