Depends, if you're going to keep the rig for more than the next 3 years, stick with the R-12. Long term reliability of R-12 systems is much better than 134a systems. The mineral oil used in R-12 is much less reactive than the POE or PAG oils used with 134a systems. The money you save on the 134a refrigerant costs will be offset by the parts that you must replace to do a top quality 134a conversion, i.e., new compressor, barrier hoses, new dryer, etc.... Bottom line, stay R-12 if this is a keeper..

Why would you want to even consider doing this? R12 is no longer in production and as such it cost almost 4 times as much as R134. But to answer your question, use R12 in a R134 system and you will destroy the compressor as the oil is not compatible with R134 oil.
What does it take to convert a 1988 Honda Accord to R134 freon?
To convert an R12 system to R134 all of the R12 will have to be removed. The system will have to be completely flushed out then special additives installed. This is done due to the way the different Freon's react to the systems gaskets. After this is done then the system is ready to be set up with new Freon.

How much R134 does a 92 GMC suburban take?
The 1992 GMC Suburban came from the factory with R12 not R134. Unless it is has been converted to use R134 you cannot simply add R134. If it has been converted you need to have the leak fixed before adding anything. It is illegal to add refrigerant to any system without first repairing the leak. How much it will hold depends on how much leaked out.

What kind of freon is used in a 1994 Chevy 2500 pickup?
94 is the year most vehicles were in the change-over stage from the factory from r-12 to r134, look for a yellow tag/stick under the hood as to which is in your system. It came from the factory with R12 Freon installed. Unless it has been converted to R134, then it still has R12. Due to the extremely high cost of R12, I suggest you convert it over to R134a.
