Starliner Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I must be stupid but this connector wont budge so I figured I would check with you guys before I do something I will regret. I'm trying to unplug the compressor and then the sky opened up with torrential downpours so I packed it in for the day. While I'm at it, is there a chart which shows the amount of compressor oil and refrigerant for the 84 truck? I see for 85 trucks it says 48 oz r12 and 10 oz mineral oil. Mine is r134a and synthetic.

85lebaront2 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 In your picture, on the bottom side of the connector, you can see a small tab with a hole, insert a small screw driver and pull it away from the connector carefully while pulling on the connector body.

Ok I will look for that tomorrow. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Ok I will look for that tomorrow. Thanks. Carefully being key. The tab on mine broke off really easily and had to be epoxied back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used 10oz pag46 and something like 3.5 cans of 134a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starliner Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Check this out, 2 of the ports look like someone stuffed JB Weld into them! Has anyone replaced a compressor recently and seen this? Could it be because if R134a ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Check this out, 2 of the ports look like someone stuffed JB Weld into them! That is not a Ford OEM compressor, it is probably a Chinese knock-off and only uses the rear ports into the manifolds. Here are some pictures of the FS6 I removed from Darth when I changed things to go to EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
