I can't speak for him, but my understanding of a v5 compressor is that it is self-regulating by an internal valve.

The suction/discharge on the V5 is reversed compared to the R4, will require lines to be made up.

I'm running a V5 on the same truck - it's worth the effort.

Good to know. How about mounting the compressor? Any difficulties, or suggestions of a specific variant of the v5 that is readily ...

The temperature scales are the saturated temp of the refrigerant.
What does that mean and why is it relevant and/or useful?

It lets you know the temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser.

It's a fundamental concept in understanding how AC works, and something you need to ...

I'm looking at a 1994 Chevy half ton truck with the AC out. It's got an R4 compressor, and it's leaking at the case seal on the compressor.
