It was only open maybe just under a half hr but I can't fill it for a few days Maybe il try just doing that. Although it's not really that cheap at Wally World either. How many cans does it take?

Look at the sticker under the hood. Should state how many oz's the system holds. Typically 2 cans is good. Cheaper than taking it somewhere at $10-15 a can. Make sure your system is R134. Not sure when they switched from R12. 99 should be R134. The sticker will tell you.

A little off topic...but an option for a working truck.

I had a leak that shut down my AC system. I did not want to spend the money on an AC system repair SO I modified my AC to work as an on board Air comressor.

Toggle switch in the cab let me activate the electric clutch. An air drier and oiler on the input of the compressor mounted on the fenderwell worked like a charm. The output to a pony tank uner the bed gave me a resivoir to work with.

Voila! I had an inexpensive portable gas powered air compressor whenever I needed air. I use it all the time! The output coupler was just behind the grill.
