A/c problems.
This is on an 01 2500, forgot to mention that at first.
I filled up my a/c on my truck, it was empty when I bought it in January. Figured I'd see how long it'd last. In about a week it was low, so I shot in some dye. The O ring at the condenser was leaking, so I replaced it. I vac'd it down and it held a vacuum just fine. Filled it up and popped off the gauges, and wouldn't you know, the high side port isn't seating right. I geuss it didn't want to be disturbed. I messed with it trying to get it to sear and it still leaks no matter what I do. It's a rubber check ball, not a schrader valve too, so I assume it isn't rebuildable? And it looks to be brazed to the line, so therefore not replaceable separately.
So what can I do? I tried an o ring on a bolt, didn't seem to work. I can't be the only one who's ever had this issue.
