Best AC machine for Diesel work

[lakebrooks10]

Beginning a new career as a diesel tech, what is the best AC machine for 1998 and newer Peterbilts and Freightliners? I have experience with the RobinAir machine for automotive work and loved it. What is preferred?

Robinair is as good as any... You have to buy your own?

The shop should provide it, never heard of an individual diesel tech having to have their own personal setup. When I worked in a truck shop, we had a Matco branded one with automatic everything after setting it up. Those were the cake jobs everyone wanted.

I would rather have a nice 4 valve manifold separate vacuum pump and scale along with a reclaim unit. I would never let anyone hook my rig to one of those machines.It's like sharing needles with a crack *****.

I don't have to buy it. I want to for other reasons.
