Redfire 03

Hey guys,

Long story short, I have a less than penny-sized hole in my A/C condenser. This is really bad timing considering I just spent over $9k on the cost of the car plus heads, tune, etc etc. so yeah i'm pretty much broke! Were getting into the triple digits here in Norcal so a/c is a must. My question is what can I do to patch this thing up for now? I tried some JB Weld yesterday and it lasted but only a few minutes until freon came blowing through. I've been told that maybe I didn't prep it right but I just don't see JB Weld holding something like that. Can I weld it possibly? If so I have access to a TIG. Please give me some suggestions guys.

Replace it. V6 cars use most of the same AC equipment as LS1s

I would suggest replacing the whole system because you now have contaminants in the lines that will be troublesome to remove. Contaminants will kill the compressor seals in a hurry and frequently until the system is free of foreign material

Can't I just flush it to get the crap out before I put the new condenser in?

You can try. If the compressor pukes a few weeks later youll know it wasnt successful

Been there, done that kind of thing

replace the condensor, the dryer, and orfice tube, put a vaccum on it for about 45 mins, put some refrigerant oil in, charge the system, and let it ride...
