Dad's bored right now so he's been hauling away scrap off the farm for a few weeks now, only 45 mile round trip. he's been complaining about the AC not keeping up, not out of the ordinary as he's always got something to complain about.
Ive replaced AC stuff on semis but never pick up trucks, only added Freon and checked gauges.
He calls me from the local dealership, he got tired of being hot so he took it in. they've diagnosed a bad compressor, not surprised.
he then asks whether or not to have them do it, $1,410 is start-finish.
No way we are going to pay that much $ for a job like that. Parts can't be more than $500 for me to do it.
So now my question, as I've never messed around with truck applications, is there special tools required to remove hozes or anything?
i'm going to look at rockauto to see what a compressor/accumulator costs but It can't be more than $500?
