  • Do you vacuum pump out of the high, low, or both sides?

  • @wowcolors both sides

  • r134a is not freon

  • @hensocr You are a genious !!! Thanks for playing .

  • How do I add Freon to Buick Suburban? Oh wait, R-134a was never ever sold as Freon anywhere in the world... I mean GM makes Suburban but never sold it under Buick brand, but after all, brand doesn't matter right?

  • @UrbexNW You know you sound like an idiot. I know that freon and R134a are different. I am just used to calling all automotive refrigerants FREON.

  • You can't charge on the high side when the compressor is operating because the compressor produces more pressure than what would be in the refrigerant can. If your a professional you KNOW when to dump liquid in the high side if you know what I mean (usually residential and commercial apps).

  • excellent how to thank you. I only wish i saw this before i charged my jeep. you state never open the high side when charging. if that is done will there be any damage to the gauge set or to the ac itself? 

  • Actually R134a is Refrigerant and is made by Freon, Freon is a company name I believe its owned by Dupont. and he is 100% correct on the Warm Water Technique. It is a good Idea to " pull " a Vacuum down to 500 Microns. and as for the gauges you can only bring the Vacuum to 29.99 In of Hg ( Hydrogyrum ) liquid metal or Inches of Mercury. I only want to inform everyone who watches this AWESOME video a little more of technical stuff.

  • Lol@people who go from ac video to ac video to say 'R134a is not freon'

  • How long should I vaccum and to what negative pressure?

  • 2 Lbs very small, mine is 3.75+ Cause you always have to give a little extra when it deals with a completely bone dry system.

  • @ezkeyboardkid58 vacuum pump

  • Dont forget to purge your lines dumbasses.....
