Yeah it's a animation rendering going around on tiktok
From what I could find, an empty cement truck weighs roughly 27,000lbs, and typically runs about 66,000lbs fully loaded, but can go as high as 90,000lbs. Even if you take the truck at its empty weight, if you smash it into the back of pretty much anything mobile that's parked up against an immovable object, the thing that's getting smashed is going to have a really bad day.
Personally, I don't think I'd take that video as anything other than entertainment. Or maybe as a warning to avoid parking against a wall where a cement truck can get a running start at you...
That explains why the apparently same truck wasn't taking any damage at all from a series of super violent collisions.
That's the video I watched. Didn't see where you had posted it before my comments.
I would bet a new bronco crashes better than any car from the 70s-80s. I drive an old truck. Just keep my head on a swivel and my will up to date.
The poster wasnt that smart.
I was.
If you’re not ready for a full conversion, look at the hybrid ‘freeze 12’ from Hastings or Casite. Can’t remember which one makes it. I have a few cans if you’re interested.
I used one of those R134 conversions on my '91. The R12 had pretty much all leaked out, so I bought a cheap pneumatic vacuum pump from Harbor Freight, replaced the o-rings I knew about, and drew a vacuum on the system for 30 minutes, then installed the fitting adapters that came in the kit and recharged the system with the refrigerant/oil mix (also from the kit).
I wasn't expecting much, but it didn't have working AC when I got it, so I figured anything would be an improvement. Much to my surprise, it actually worked really well, and I had cold AC after it was done. It seems like I had to chase a minor leak or two, but nothing major, and the refrigerant mix had the UV dye in it to help find the leaks, as well as some kind of leak sealer.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure you're correct about '94 being the changeover to R134.
