Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
Not really sure. Just the he seemed to indicate to me that it was some type
of "known" issue.
But his A/C doesn't work either anymore..

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
What about yours (yours to be), any information about it?
The most common problem is you have a leaks somewhere in a hose connector or
the compressor and the low pressure switch prevents the A/C from kicking in.
Has the system ever been recharged or had any work been done on it? Do you
know someone with a gauge set that can take a quick pressure test?

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
Billy Ray,
There is a "known issue" with automotive air conditioning systems, that they
just stop working after a while. As you point out, this is probably in most
cases due to a leak, and as Bill ------ has stated, O-rings are a weak link.
In my experience, when faced with an AC system that "does not work", an
aggressive approach is the best approach. Replace all the O-rings. Inspect
all the joints and connections for tell-tale signs of oil leakage. If there
is a connection that is inaccessible or hidden, expose it. Install a leak
detector if you have to. If you are having all this done by someone else,
impress on them that you believe the system to be old, you anticipate a lot
of problems, and you want all the leaks fixed this time. You may have a
couple more hours and some additional replacement parts cost, but the leak
will be gone when you are done.
Do not listen to arguments like, "Sometimes there is a leak, that varies
with the ambient temperature. That could be why we can't find it in your
vehicle." That just means, "The leak is behind an access panel, that we
don't feel like removing right now."

Re: Is this Jeep worth it?
BIll,
I will check out the truck this weekend sometime as most of you here seem to
overwhelmingly think it's a good value. When I do I will find out more
details on the A/C and such and post back here.
Earle,
I will definately follow up as per your advice if I acquire the vehicle.
Thanks
