Chassis air conditioner blows cold. A complete recharge with R134A was done in May, 2008 after I accidentally broke a fitting on the compressor. Servicer said that the fitting type meant that it had previously been converted, although I don't have a record of that conversion. The compressor is different (larger) than stock.
