AC suggestions

Anyone familiar with the 94 model 9400's? I am in a dilemma on what to do about no AC in Texas. Ive owned this truck 9 years, the truck AC was "working" when i got it, but someone by passed the actual wiring to the compressor and ran it direct. This obviously would freeze out the lines running constantly, so i wired it to a toggle switch, i never found the original wire for the compressor. So, i ran that for a few years then decided to try a window unit with an invertor. This worked well but the copper tubes inside the unit kept cracking..so ditched that idea. Since then Ive pulled that out, removed the truck compressor and condensor and gave up.

I really dont trust this stock AC setup, it NEVER blew cold to begin with, although i never tried to look into cleaning the stock stuff either.

So i guess what im asking, would it be a good idea to try a between the seat Red Dot unit (expensive, around $2000), some ebay/amazon 12 volt split units (between $600-$800), or try to get the stock stuff running? As of now to get the stock stuff even looked at, i would need a new compressor and condenser to begin with, lost them both a few years ago. Any input is greatly appreciated it, no AC is hard to get used to, but i have done it. I am just ready to go at it, tired of being uncomfortable in this truck!

 

I've been trying to price out stuff to get the original AC back together to at least see what it needs. I still have the old York bracket but will get the sanden adapter and run the sanden.

I have the electrical diagram and it shows a green wire? that powers the compressor. I've never been able to find it, but while out looking now, would this be it? the book confuses me a bit because I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a black wire or green?

 

you can see a green wire that's been cut poking out of the wire wrap

 

yup...that's the same type I seen on ebay. the problem is if I try the "fix the truck ac" route, those split systems don't use a compressor or the truck condenser. so I'd be out by about $500. or....I would have to go the red dot route since that system does use the truck compressor and condenser.

I'm headed to look at my buddy's wrecker he swapped an n14 in that uses a sanden. trucks a peterbilt i believe but I can eat least see how he did it

 

well I went and looked at his peterbilt and I think peterbilt made that bracket set up for sandens. did a google search and can only find them on peterbilts. would be nice to try and run a stock bracket but I guess that's why the adapters are made

 

this is the adapter I found through this site that seems like it would work?
