A/C question

revned2008 · 08-17-2008, 11:28 PM

Would it be worth the money if i put in A/C in to my truck which does not have A/C? And Would it be hard to?

I dont think it would be that much of a problem. Your just going to need to get a hold of all the correct parts. I would try to find a truck you can grab things like the blower box, all the wiring and the HVAC controls in the cab at the least. The rest of the parts you can probably obtain at your local parts place but they will be pricey, so a truck that has it all in good working order is your best bet.

My truck came with an aftermarket system installed in it which was a huge POS and whoever installed it did a horrible job and now Im missing over half the hardware in the dash because they didnt put it all back in....

Hope this helps, good luck.

How hard depends on your skill level. If your asking about a/c then its worth it to install it. A wrecker should know what you need and when you ask for a change over they will pull all you need to do it. (or at least should) I did this in my mom's first S10 and they forgot to give me the door under the cowl panel and the resivour ball. All I did was tell them and they got it for me.

I want to put A/C in my truck.

Removable sunroofs are over-rated & complete trash.
