Air Conditioning Service (http://www.thedieselpage.com/features/airconditioning.htm)
Converting an R-12 system to R-134a
Servicing an existing R-134a System
Part of the mystery in servicing automotive air conditioning systems for most people is a lack of understanding in the technology. While it does require specialized equipment and training to know all that is knowable, acquiring a basic understanding of what the various system components do and learning how they work together to produce cool air inside your vehicle will help in maintaining your A/C system - whether you do the work yourself or choose to hire the professionals. In addition to learning how to evaluate and recharge existing R-134a systems, we'll also show you the basics of converting an older R-12 system to R-134a.

For the 6.2/6.5
The injector socket used to remove and replace the 6.2/6.5 fuel injectors is not an off-the-shelf item. Our choices have always been to either make do with a general-purpose 30-mm socket or buy the special socket produced for this application. I've developed a way to produce an injector socket that works much better than a general purpose socket, yet remains cost effective for the average truck owner.
