Re: A/C related questions

1. no
2. different charge rates for systems with more (or less) volume
3. POA should be calibrated, (different pressure setting, some are not adjustable) done before charging
4. no need for condenser fan if system is properly designed (in extremely high load climates not a bad idea though)
5. IMO, replace the hoses, especially if using R134a

B. original evap will work
E. newer condensers remove heat better
F. IMO, original system has more value on a "stock-ish" truck. Original system is a good design, will recirculate air or use outside air, aftermarket designs do not. If you want a clean firewall go aftermarket
G. recommend repair shop that offers a warranty on parts & labor. Most reputable shops have at least a 1 year/ 12,000 mile warranty (whichever comes first)
H. replacement evaps are a direct fit
