I Googled "Duracool hc12" and there are a lot of places to buy it. Where are you all getting it, and at what price?

I also get it from Bennett Cycle Supply: http://bennettsupply.net/
When I called to order some, I thought I called Dan Gregg by mistake. Same accent.  When I asked if he could ship to AZ, he said, "I can ship it ANYwhere!" I guess it's up to us to me to decide whether to use it here.

I saw that before. Are you going to turn me in? No way. I think it is stupid that state and fed gov'ts let the lobbyists for the freon producers convince that that freon is preferable to HC refrigerants. The hydrocarbon based products are actually superior in every way: efficiency, component compatibility, corrosiveness and environmental impact.

Im going to be making the switch soon myself both on the GMC and my Lincoln mk IV
Reading the info on GMMHI Duracool conversion section, it says "it actually works better if you dont pull a vaccum" but the link is dead.
Cant find anything on this. Anyone have any idea why?

I wanted to mention that if you install Duracool on newer computerized vehicles, you may run into a problem with the cooling fan not coming on due to lower head pressures. This will cause poor cooling at idle.

I do not have any idea where that came from but I can't agree. You might send a note to Emery and ask him. If there is any truth to it he will know and explain why.

I am with Ken on this. When you pull a vacuum on system it allows you to check for leaks and to insure that any moisture is also removed. The resident expert here on using Duracool is Emery and maybe he will respond.
