Adding AC ????

mnjconstruction

I have to main vehicles I drive. A 2008 f-150 and an 89 dodge ram cargo van. I love this van. No rust runs 100%, only 99k original miles. Anyway it is lacking AC. So when its wicked hot out I am forced to take the truck. Can I add AC to this van somehow? And if so is it going to be alot?? Any info would be great, thanks

Yes. It cost me 1500 bucks. Needed a compressor and I think a blower motor.

Took a day. I think JC whitney sold a kit. been about 8 years

I would look for the same year van that has the same engine with A/C and pull all the parts for yours. I would also take it right to a Dodge dealer for the recharge so it is done right. May be cheaper to go this route instead of new.

Thats a great idea. I'm hoping to get it done for under 6 or 700 bucks. I just love that cold ac after working a long hard sweaty day. it makes for a much better ride home. And i love my old work van, keeps miles off my new pickup, whick already has 25k miles. I've only owned it for 8 months

If i were you...I would not put a/c in at the moment. Cash for clunkers... up to $4500 for that dodge ram gas hog if you got yourself a new econoline or express. 09 for under $20k out the door...that's before the $4500 rebate from the govt
