isnt there anything cheaper?!

 

head to a JY. problem solved

also nothing is cheap when you are dealing with AC

 

i dont go 2 the JY for hoses or sensors! lol
but yea tell me about it!

 

well then you will be paying retail.

 

Sounds like a good price to me......just paid $110 for the rubber hose/manifold assembly at Autozone. Replaced that, the liquid line/orifice tube, accumulator/dryer and compressor on our '98 XJ last week. In your pic, is the large rubber hose long enough to make the loop? The liquid line/orifice tube, accumulator/dryer and compressor are about the same price at Autozone and/or Oreilly as they are at JeepAir. Makes me wonder if that's the right hose/manifold assembly.

 

whoa! lookin good!! and yea it should be.... how cold is that a/c u got?

 

34F at the center dash vents, on max/recirculate, highway speed, ambient 101F.......41F idling. Works great and the kiddo and I did it ourselves, except for the vacuum pull and add freon.

 

wow very nice! total cost? (if u dont mind me askin.)

 

Parts were $470 with tax and $80 to pull vacuum/freon charge, spending time with your son, priceless. We were getting quotes of $1300-$1800 at the shops and dealership so we did it ourselves and got 'er done.

 

very nice! gets my
p.s. u got a build thread?

 

Sorry, don't have a build thread but it went fairly easy. There were 3 quick connects on the freon lines so you need those disconnect tools (cheap, available at the parts store). We poured 1 qt (not all at once) of a/c flush in the evaporator and another qt of a/c flush (not all at once) in the condensor and blew them out very well with compressed air. We added 4.1 ozs of PAG compressor oil to the new accumulator/dryer and another 4.1 ozs of PAG oil to the EMPTY new compressor. Installed the 4 new components (PAG oil on the new o-rings), plugged in the hi/low pressure switches, snugged up the serpintine and off to KwiK-Kar to get it charged. They have a really cool a/c machine that pulls a vacuum, holds it for 10 minutes (leak check), then adds R134a. When both the low pressure/high pressure numbers are in spec by the ambient temp, it's done. Before hooking up the a/c machine, the tech asked if we added compressor oil. We mentioned we did so he added freon only. Hope this helps.

 

ok thanks! you've been great! and check out my build thread ill update it when done

 

90 bucks for that hose assembly is a very good price. Never trust junk yard hoses or brake parts.

 

yup, i never buy things that'll wear out at the yard!
