What did you do with your DII today?

I know The Deputy is a seasoned mechanic, but for many others of you out there, be very careful adding refrigerant. Too much in the system can lock up the compressor and cause other problems, like the serp belt getting fried as it passes over the non-moving A/C pulley. Not that I ever did that ...

Most of the parts store kits have a gauge, green/low on freon, blue/fill range, red or yellow/over charged or compressor issue. Best to have a A/C thermometer and stick it in center vent, A/C on lowest setting, blower on high, windows up/in shade and recirculation button pushed. Make note of ambient temperature/humidity level and shoot for about 30/35 degrees below that. Watch gauge, staying in blue range and watch thermometer. If 85°...55°/50° out of the vent on a stationary vehicle would be acceptable. Vent temps will most likely be lower, once vehicle has more air moving across condenser. R134a doesn't like being overfilled, you will see temps drop if system receives to much freon.
Yes, caution should always be used...while doing A/C charging. And repairs should be done by a MAC certified shop or mechanic. Or if you have any doubts at all about your skill level...have a professional make repairs or recharge system.

Got the white one out for a little off-roading on Saturday with a couple of buddies and their RRC. I was at the end of the group and I don't think anyone took any photos unfortunately. Truck ran well and so far has been performing nicely since the hg and cam swap.
Green one will be running today, just need to throw coils, upper intake and repipe coolant lines. then fluids and time to crank
Edit: I snapped one while airing back up.
