Dash Air

[xz3kg7]

Chuck,

I have an 87 FC35 and I fixed my chassis air a few years ago. I know I don't
have the long hose runs like you, but I still had advice not to get mine
going... However I have been very pleased, and have had virtually no issues
since doing so.

I put a new condensor (Red dot) on mine and converted to R134a. I think the
condensor was around $600, and that was the most expensive single piece. It cost
maybe $1200 total (did the work myself). That included a new compressor.

I live in Texas, and it was not comfortable driving into the sun on a hot day
running roof airs only. Not to mention the front unit puts out around 20-25,000
btu. On cooler days, or when the sun goes down the chassis air is easily enough
to keep things cool without running the genset.

Good luck, email me if you have questions about how I did mine.
