So long story short. I have my lift all planned out getting ready to order it this week.

and bam on Saturday my A/C in my house goes **** up, immediate reaction is oh **** five grand out the door. Then my lovely wife reminds me that we have a home warranty and it's all covered. Nice I feel better, well a little better as it's like 150 degrees in Florida and I have sweat running down my *** while I eat dinner.

then this morning my A/C stops working in the xj. Probably needs freon I say no biggy. Well no my freaking condenser has a leak. Not just any leak one that could've been avoided. The freaking head of the tranny cooler screw was rubbing up against the condenser and rubbed out a hole. Why was it not tightened enough. And the qoute for replacing the condenser, dryer, and recharge is $940.00. So now I have two vehicles with no air and a house that feels like a sauna. Freaking fantastic over here. How are you going?

and thak you for listening.....er reading.

 

Nice in cool at 40 here lol

 

One word: Doorless!

My AC went out when i was living in Cape Coral, FL so i understand.

 

Yesterday it was 80 here. I have nix set to show me Anchorage and Fairbanks also. Nothing like seeing 80,29,25 lol

 

Yea mine just shows North Pole

 

Well turned my ac on in the xj to see if it work and it didn't. But it was only 80 here yesterday.

 

whats this A/C in your xj that im hearing about? :P

 

its 45* here. has been snowing for a few days. but that sucks. 940 is what most shops would charge... could you do it yourself? its easy... then take it to them to charge it. its already empty.
65-200$ for condencer... rockauto.com
18$ for a receiver/dryer threw same place...
and only 8$ for the gaskets..
also wall-mart sells freon in the can cheaper then most shops will sell it to you. bring your own cans. (2 of them) and all will be good!
its not a hard job... could have it all done for about 150$ plus the recharge labor...

then pay to have them recharge it. should be about 100$ to have it vacuumed and recharged... verys by there labor rate..

 

I'm giving it some thought doing it my self.

Just never dealt with A/C systems.

 

Over 900 bucks to fix the A/C? You're getting raped my friend. Go to www.rockauto.com for the parts, install them yourself, then have it evacuated and recharged. It will only be a quarter of what you were quoted at most.

 

I'm in tallahassee, I can't afford to run my A/C.....

 

That's what I'm saying! I don't even know whats wrong with mine, and I'm working outside here in fl. Its a nice 89 today.

 

man that sucks

fortunately windows open A/C works up here in the High Desert

we have a high of 70 today/ low of 45

 

That's way I like the older XJ's with wing windows, Flip them around back wards. It's like a wind tunnel. You don't even have to empty the ashtray, Because your wearing most of it..

 

It's not too bad.
