I have a 97 Nissan PU King Cab. The AC has been kinda warm lately. Well, at least in the mid 90's temps we had the last few days here in NY. I was thinking of recharging the AC myself rather than spend a couple of hundred $$$ for a mechanic to do it. I had recharged a car AC back when the coolant was freon, but haven't done any with the newer R134a coolant. I saw an ad in the JC Whitney catalog for a Recharge/Service kit for $48 (don't look for it on the JCW site, they don't show it there). It's an Interdynamics combo kit consisting of an AC gauge and a 14 oz. refill can of R134a. Has anyone used either of these and is then procedure any different than with the old freon? It's been a long time since I recharged an AC unit, so I doubt if I can remember that procedure anyway. :-)
