and it sprayed right out of the condenser

which brings me to this question, where is a good place to get a cheap condenser?

I've got all the parts I needed for my Explorer from the local scrap yard.

i was thinking that, but by the time someone that works in a junk yard yanks a condenser out it will probably be junk if it wasn't already

i think i'm just gonna buy a new one, most of the junk yards around here won't let you pull the parts, plus a new one is only 90 bux

Go to a slavage yard, most if not all yards have a garrantee on thier parts. So if the used one leaks you return it for another or get your money back.

Just make sure you flush the entire system really good with some AC flush, and then use a vacuum pump to pump out all the air in the system. Then look on your hood sticker and add in the required amount of oil. it is crucial to do all this to make sure there is no moisture or foreign matter in the lines.

You may also want to disassemble and clean the orifice to make sure it is not clogged or blocked in any way.

Let us know how it all works out.

Oh one other thing, It is also handy to have dual gauges (high and low side) so you can properly diagnose any flow or pump problems.

i'm actually gonna try and get a hold of a few of the people i used to work with at the truck stop and see if i can come in when they are working third shift and used an ac machine that way i can vacuum the system before i charge it, plus then i can get free freon
