Can you use a 134a Freon in a Silverado?
As low oil is what causes seize. Unfortunately, if you want to use 134, you must have system completely purged and cleaned, or it will gum up. Now there is a new freon type available, forgot its name, something like carbon based… They say it’s a much better alternative to 134.
What’s the difference between R12 and R134a air conditioning?
Assorted O-Rings manufactured for R134a A/C systems. R134a refrigerant O-rings are of a different composition than those for R12 systems. R-12 O-rings are black in color. R-134a O-rings are blue or green in color. Ester oil charge for lubrication (amount varies by model year).
What do you need to convert R12 to 134A?
They say it’s a much better alternative to 134. Either way, you MUST resolve system leak first, or this will turn into a money pit. You’ll need a compressor, accumulator, expansion tube, o-rings, correct pag oil, 134a conversion kit, flush and evacuate and recharge adding the correct amount of 134a and not the same amount as required for r12.
Can a 91 Silverado be rednecked to 134A?
Last edited by Ultrarunner; 01-29-2014 at 10:42 PM.. To do it right, you’ll need a qualified and equipped service center to suck out all the R-12 (and any shrapnel), then recharge the system with 134a. If you want to redneck it, you can do it yourself. And though I won’t recommend doing it, I’ve seen a lot of DIY redneckings last a long long time.

What kind of refrigerant does a Ford air conditioner use?
Until 1995, most cars with air conditioning used R-12 Freon refrigerant which has shown to have an environmental impact. R-12 is no longer used or produced in many countries and remaining quantities have skyrocketed in price. Since then, the industry standard has been R134a, which is an efficient replacement.
