Mouzer, putting the GM AC controls aside the A/C part of the system is very very simple... With a 93 it is prolly on the fence for R12 versus R134, my memory is shot and I no longer remember the cut over year...Quote:

IF your truck is R12 versus R134 it will say on the core support (sticker tells the charge specs)...
Can you buy R134 on the cheap in Cali at the parts stores???
yes mine is r12 and needs to be r134
Easy deal, not sure about GMs but many fords were already using the urethane O-rings at that point in time...Quote:

IF you were here I would be a buddy and give you two lbs of R12 but Im not packing it on the airplane... Personally I just swap all of the stuff I work on over to R134 and be done with it... WOrks great and is easy to get around here, usually you can find it on sale this time of year...
Whatever you do, DON'T put any of that stop leak shiiaaat in the system... :D
