How to Recharge your Air Conditioning

[SunlitComet]

Hey guys, I have zero A/C experience. I got my truck in Jan and the ac has not worked. I do not hear the compressor kick in at all (which thanks to this thread tells me it may just be the safety feature that shuts it off with no freon in the system).

So where should I start to get my truck cold? What type of freon does my truck take ('95)?

Thanks!

Your vehicle uses r-134a which is readily available with a charging hose and gauge at local stores. Would suggest you hook it up and see what the gauge says.

Were you switching from R12 or R134?

How cold is it? Ice Cold? very cold? or just cold? What's your best guestimation?

I have done both R-12 and R 134a. In both cases, I find that the air cons are cold enough at the lowest setting, that I find myself adding some heat to make it comfortable.
