What recharge A/C refrigerant is used for a 1999 Chevy S10 pickup

I live in Wisconsin and our parts stores don't sell these kits, I am considering ordering over the net or whenever I'm in Illinois buy some there.

On a 1999 s-10, your correct refridgerant is r-134a. I don't understand why wisconsin won't allow you to purchase r-134a at a auto parts store. R-12 is the refridgerant that has been banned in the US, and requires ASE air conditioning certification to purchase. I've never heard of any law anywhere prohibiting the purchase of r-134a.

Anyway, your system is a r-134a system.

I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck on your repair.

R-23 but ask the sellers also

    a new car loses 20 percent of its value the moment you drive it off the dealer's lot. So when times are tough and money is tight, it makes sense to shop the used-car market and be on the winning side of that depreciation curve.

Why does my system work great in heat mode but short cycles the compressor in ac mode

Sounds like your system is low on refrigerant. Auto parts stores sell a kit to refill yourself. Kit comes with easy to follow instructions. I would buy the one with the basic gauge and give it a try. Cost around $25.00

Looking at buying 85 nissan king cab everything looks good but ac may need refrigerant may need a recharge.assuming for air conditioning?is that bad and or expensive?

If you try to recharge the A/C using the old R-12 refrigerant it would be expensive because you would have to take it to a professional to have it done, but they do sell do it yourself kits to convert the old R-12 to the new R-134a. Walmart I believe sells the kits and probably any auto parts store. Assuming there is nothing wrong with the A/C unit. You will need to have a professional evacuate the old R-12 refrigerant first because R-12 and R-134a don't mix and it is illegal to vent it into the atmosphere.

What kind of coolent to use to recharge a/c

it used R12 originally, u can still buy that on ebay if u have a valid HVAC license, otherwise you must convert the system to the new non ozone harming R134A refrigerant, they sell kits to do this conversion at better auto part stores like Napa and Carquest, beware of the cheaper kits.

How can I recharge the air conditioning?

Hello. If you wish to recharge it yourself, drive to any auto parts store and see if they will loan you the recharging kit if you buy the refrigerant from them. If you don't wish to do it yourself, call a few garages until you find one that will charge your A/C and also ask up front how much they will charge. J.

Crank sensor or Ignition module. A part store should be able to test the module. If you have no way to test them, the crank sensor is cheaper.
