Hey all. Well, my beater just got refinanced with extra equity from my other vehicle that was negative. So now it's a longer term vehicle for me, not just a beater but has now become a resto-mod project.
1995 Ram 2500 RWD non a/c. Oh yeah, I live in Arizona, so A/C is highly desirable.
I can rip apart a motor or tranny no problem, so I've decided to test my mechanical prowess with converting my non/A/C truck to something that blows cold stuff.
So aside form the parts listed here would I need that are specific to my vehicle that I may not be aware of:
Compressor + Bracket
Accumulator
A/C Lines
Evaporator
Blower Motor
A/C selector on the dash
I assume I might need a variety of switches or sensors perhaps?
And of these items, what should I really buy brand new? Again the truck is a beater, so I am not so concerned about less than OEM quality.
The Accumulator is cheap enough to buy new, as are the lines, and I'd rather not use lines that I yanked out of a donor.
Of the parts that are okay to be get second hand, should i flush them out with anything?
