Where can i find this chart? I'm relatively new to fixing my truck on my own. I know there's a leak somewhere, but right now, I'm lacking the funds to get it fixed. I just want cold ac for the summer and I plan on getting it fixed by next summer

 

Get the FSM from the FAQ/DIY section. Section 24, page 3.

 

I hate to be technical, but these trucks don't use Freon, which is R12 (outlawed). They use R134A.

 

hmm gdstock that's a bit scary, and I can't seem to find where I got that info from. I'll have a professional look at it.

 

This thread pretty much sums up why I don't like to give info over the net a far as AC goes.

 

my truck has 2/65 cooling

 

This is technically not technically correct. R12 as well as R11 and soem others were banned. If you still have it, you can use it. I actually added a can of R12 to my BIL's car over the weekend. Freon is a generric term for refrigerant, but is most commonly used to refer to R12 (which is the only refrigerant the average consumer had ever had access to) much like Kleenex is the term most of us use for any nose wiping paper product.....

It does seem that consumers still refer to any refrigerant as freon.



I am leaning this direction as well. In most, if not all, of my responses to AC issues, I believe I refer to the FSM and the assocaited charts. I have even had a member or two argue the numbers, I suppose based on their "first hand" knowledge. I could be wrong, but if so, I fooled the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for many years by holding a license, and the State of New Mexico for holding a Master's license there and supervising over 20 HVAC techs.......Since I don't so this typ of work anymore, and my licenses have long ago lapsed, maybe my perceived knowledge lapsed as well...and I cannot read the FSM....lol.....

To OP - If you are not comfortable doing this, then yes, taking to someone that is licensed and has the equiopment is certainly the safest and best way to make sure it is done correctly.
