Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / August 2007Refrigerant capacity for 99 Navigator with aux air?
Can someone out there with a good library tell me the refrigerant capacity for a 99 Navigator with Aux A/C? I need to replace a hose and would like to charge to the design capacity.

I was wondering how the OP was going to replace a hose without evacuating the system and recharging it. Rather than 'charging to the design capacity' he needs to charge it according to the refrigerant gauge readings. >> Can someone out there with a good library tell me the refrigerant capacity >> for a 99 Navigator with Aux A/C?

It might also be necessary to open the hood, loosen some fasteners, blink, breathe, take off the fitting caps, leak check, etc. And yes, I will monitor the gauges during the loading process....but it is nice to know what the engineers intended as a sanity check. >> Isn't it necessary to evacuate the air as well as fill the refridgerant? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >>> >>> skimmer >> Isn't it necessary to evacuate the air as well as fill the >> refridgerant?

Using the gauges to load refrigerant is NOT reliable. You can damage components doing this - especially if you think this is the right way to do things.

Ed...what are the signs of the system being OVER charged? skimmer >>> On Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:08:58 +0000, Jeff Strickland rearranged >>> some [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Ed...what are the signs of the system being OVER charged? A large hole in the condenser is a sure sign... Ed Look under the hood. Also see http://www.motor.com/PDFs/QLG2003_AC_capacities.pdf .

Good luck, SC Tom |
