The A/C in my 2004 ranger was blowing warm air. Took it to the dealer for diagnosis and came back with $1,200 recommendation of replacing the compressor. Took to another shop for 2nd opinion and was told there is a freon leak. They put freon in it and told me to come back in 3 weeks to measure the amounts and perform a dye test to find source of leak. The truck has 199,000 miles on it and I'm not sure it's worth replacing the compressor, especially knowing it may or may not be the problem - could be a belt, the condensor, or any number of other related parts. What do you recommend?
The shop saying there was a Freon leak should have other ways to diagnose a leak other than a dye test. If they charge it & it leaks out.......YOU BOUGHT IT. The diag should be done in one visit.

To be honest, I have no experience with the changes necessary when lifting a truck's suspension. All of my work on trucks has been limited to routine maintenance and repairs. With a 5.5" lift and the associated changes in suspension geometry, I wouldn't know where to start in telling you what you'd need. I don't want to steer you wrong, so I'm going to suggest you post this in the general vehicle question area for another vehicle expert to pick up on - I'm sure someone on here can tell you what you need from their own past experience.
Sorry if it's disappointed you, but I'd rather defer to someone else than tell you something that may not be correct.

Hello at 60,000 miles you should have all of the following done.
1) Have you transmission flushed completely
2) change your fuel filter
3) oil and filter change
4) inspect your brakes and rotate your tires
5) replace air filter if needed
6) clean your injectors by pressure
7) have your suspension check
8) have your belts inspected
9) if your differential is not leaking. leave it alone due to age.
10 have your coolant flushed out.
If you had any of the following done recently then subtract from the list.
this may be costly so you may want to do little by little unless you can have it done all at once.

When they refilled the refrigerant did they put die in it to check for leaks, it sounds like there may be a leak.
