Tractor Supply had freon on sale last month for 36$ a case. I bought 2 since my van needs a new Schrader valve and semi isn't blowing cold ..
Ive had gauges and vacuum pump along with a Hanes A\c technical manual for years.
Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

My gauges are up north.
I’ve yet to see what’s going on with the semi other than it’s not blowing cold .
Put some gauges on it and see what they say. Probably tear the system down and flush and reseal it , maybe new hoses while I’m at it.
Internationals have a funky heat and a/c system being everything for the front and rear heat and a/c is in a box under the passenger seat than runs through a plenum through the floor.
I found a shirt stuffed in the box for the rear heat, I’m guessing they were trying to route more heat to the windshield defrosters .
Can’t imagine the air is very warm after it runs along the cold floor to the defrosters. Same with a/c.
I am going to have to insulate under the floor outside to make it efficient
Soooo much stuff that needs doing on this truck to make it Right.
Yea I already regret not buying 2 more cases of Freon. Tough to beat $3 a canTug Toy, Farmerbob1 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

Well, the opti idle issue was resolved, but i will need to have the steers looked at for balance. Front end wobble was not resolved at all by the alignment. After 650k miles and with the uneven wear, there was a need for alignment, but there's clearly something else as well.
If all goes as planned, I will have the steers looked at tonight. We shall see. -
