Hi, I have a 1996 C1500 4.3 reg cab 8ft bed and the A/C is not working, just blows ambient air. Is there anything simple I might be able to check to see if the system is salvagable?
I was thinking if the system is bad, to maybe buy a kit or the individual parts needed to replace and flush the AC system. I have never done this but have been reading up here and it appears the sanden unit is the way to go? Which brands are good for components? I dont know if i have the ht6 or not. Looking at rockauto, also not sure if i need the parrellel flow condensor or the serpantine condensor? After reading it looks like if a component is bad, it would be a good idea to replace everything so i would want to go that route.
looks like i ned a manifold gauge set, a vac pump, and some adapters. any recommendations for these?
thanks for any help!
