Default Air conditioner issues
My 2000 4.0 classic isn't blowing cold air. Are there things I can do at home or am I at the mercy of taking it to a shop?

Cheapest DIY you could try first is to pump a can on R134 refrigerant into it. Fifteen or twenty bucks at an auto parts store. Buy the one with the gauge on the filler pipe. Just follow the instructions.

Do this then report back.

That's how mine was for a few years after I bought it. Filled it like previously stated, and now I have AC again. I should not have waited so long. Its so easy
