has anyone used one of those ac recharge this from autozone. do they work? will it damage anything? what kind do i need. I really dont want to pay 200 for the dealer to do it. Im going tomorrow so a fast answer would be great.

 

just check under your hood there should be a label. it will say r-134 and you should be set. make sure you get the can witht he gauge on it so you don't over charge it. if there is no leaks it should only take one or two cans to re-charge it. as long as the system is good it works great.

 

cool thanks.

 

I just did this to my ram... it was intermittantly turning off. put one of those bottles on it and added some freon and now it's all good again. hasnt shut off once since then...

 

Recharged my AC this afternoon went from blowing ambiant air to blowing 37.8degree air out.. had to add 2 cans of refigerant. i think my AC has a leak cause this is the 2nd time ive done it sense i bought the truck just under a year ago however the first time it just wasnt the COLD that i wanted so i just topped it off but this time sense i figured a leak may be happenin i used "UV tracing refigerant" but so far no leaks but sometimes ive heard it takes a couple days to show. Its no biggy but watch the pressure gauge you dont want over fill it and lock up the compressor Excpecialy if you put it in in a liquid form instead of vapour.

P.S changing differential fluids is a PITA!!!!!!!!!! not hard but when someone torques the bolts to 400lbs there a b**** to get off...sorry it was a long afternoon of being underthe truck i even had to pay 17$ for the stupid UV light lol
