i have a 1997 Blazer that i just purchased and there is a ball thing hanging under the hood that the washer hoses hook up 2 that is broken. Anyone know what it is called and where i can find one? also the AC needs recharged what kind of freon do they require?armyboy212001@msn.com

 

pretty sure your talking about the vacuum resevoir. those are vacuum lines that come out of it. pretty easy to find at your local store for not much. as for the freon originally came with r-134a. not sure where you live but here in canada they wont sell it to you anymore. you can buy other stuff r-12 i think but i hear its not a good idea. your mechanic should be able to charge you up with the good stuff

welcome to the show Adam.

sounds like you need to doing some reading of the 2nd gen series tech section.

 

*Copied the thread in to the 2nd gen tech section and cleaned up* - I could have sworn I moved this, but probably got called away in the middle of editing it... In the future, you can report a post.

Oh yeah, WELCOME!
