Ranger: Will Recharging the refrigerant make the AC cooler?

Jul 26, 2005 2 Replies

I have a 2002 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6. The AC doesn?t seem to be as cold as it should be. I don?t use the AC that often at all, but I do try to run it at least 2-3 times a month to get it a little use. There have been a few hot days lately and the AC doesn?t seem to be blowing the cold air that it should. Would re-charging the refrigerant fix this and what type refrigerant do I need?


It would be R134 but if you are not sure of what you are doing, get someone who does and that can pressure check the hi and lo side of system to determine its true charge level.
