What were you in the hospital for, James? I must have missed something.Didn't think to check the lines for coldness. Yes, I reckon that there is a small leak somewhere but being as I just got out of the hospital, not ready to do any big work on the truck. Just doing what I did was taxing enough today.

I just read about that in his other thread. Stay strong James!He had covid.
Thanks to all for your advice. I had to push really hard to walk outside and get started on this this evening. My girls got out the manifold and vacuum pump and I showed them where and how to hook up all the fittings. My oldest picked up 4 12 ounce cans of straight 134 at O'Reilly's and then the fun began. After evacuating the system and running the vacuum pump to check for a leak, there is one somewhere, we began putting freon in the system, only, we couldn't get the darn cans to deliver the goods.
After much frustration and a trip to O'Reilly's I determined that the o-ring in the adapter that attaches the cans to the manifold was too thick. I was going to cut it in half but decided to just run it without. Well, we got most of 3 cans into the system and the temp at the vents is now 40 degrees. Tomorrow we'll get another can and top it off and then have to get a freon sniffer to track down the leak at my leisure.
