Need to convert my 90 Toyota truck to R134. But one shop reports there are still some R12 and they don't have the stuff to suck that out...

Help...

Thanks.

 

Where about are you located? Coordinates bring up USGS quake tracking. If south bay, I'd call these guys and see if they can: http://www.yarnellstoyota.localgads.com/

 

Oops... I'm in the Fremont area. ..

 

Yarnell's for sure if you don't go dealership. Solid, solid people there. As far as R12, no promises but you can also just go and convert over. When we did my 4Runner I was way happier since R12 isn't allowed anymore out here and if you were to go elsewhere it costs a ton.

Yarnell's can even likely get you a conversion package deal from one of the aftermarket Cooling & A/C Suppliers.

 

i called yarnell.

they cant suck up the old R12. that is my current issue...

 

Honestly then AFAIK the only people who still handle R12 in any way shape or form would be refrigerator repair shops or industrial cargo ship cooler company's.

Call the Bureau of Auto Repair, technically since the R12 is old enough you are expected to properly dispose of it be evacuation. They should have a place you can goto for that part.

Want me to try and ask around my circles I will, but no promises since I'm not at the old job with those connections and contacts.

 

cool if you can... (pun intended)

right now, i have zero cold at all.

just got a nissan dog 3 weeks ago and we are burning up in the truck...

 

I wasn't sure if Yarnell could do it either, I just know they are good.

Another good place that handles Toyota is Foreign Affair in Santa Clara. Worth asking them, and if they can't, ask them if they know someone who can.

Even if you are able to dispose of the R12, I think they usually replace seals when switching to R134.

 

Just do the conversion. R12 is SUPER expensive if you can find it

 

had a shop that was able to suck up the R12.

but now, something else is the issue.

sigh...

 

dude just open the valve and it'll come out, no need to tell anyone about it. then just get the conversion kit.

 

My work may be able to help!

 

You are fired.
