Hello everyone,
I recently added a new vehicle to my fleet, a 1992 Cherokee with the 4.0. It's in pretty good shape, but one of the major systems not working right now is the AC.
Since the system is on R12 and hasn't worked in years, it occurred to me that rather than rebuilding the R12 system with new parts and then converting, why don't I just put an entire R134a system in from a newer XJ, like the 1997 system with the parallel flow condenser.
However, I have a few reservations to doing this.
First off, if I replaced everything (compressor, condenser, evaporator, lines, dryer, expansion valve, etc.) would there be issues making it fit in my 92?
Right now I'm pretty set on using a parallel condenser, as the AC efficiency increase seems significant, and I plan to replace all parts regardless of which path I take.
Has anyone done a complete conversion like this before? I wasn't able to find any documentation of anyone who had.
Thanks all,
Isaak
