AC guinea pig...

You need to find a buddy in the commercial HVAC business. They usually have good vacuum pumps.
I have a friend his worked as a mechanic for 30 years at the local cab company who said I could bring it in on a Saturday. When I talked to him last night about Saturday after this next he said "we'll play it by ear".. :rolleyes:..
I don't think I need to suck the inners out of it LOL... I'm thinking Harbor Freight and a $29 vacuum pump and a set of AC gauges and hoses for $55. Maybe I can do a little better with coupons LOL that and some cans of freon from Walmart...
I really like being self-sufficient and this isn't it major investment for tools. And I believe this is the way it should be done even on daily driver vehicles and not just adding freon willy-nilly like...
