Ever since I got my truck it hasn't had AC and now that summer is rolling around it's getting to the point where I kind of need it. The AC use to blow ice cold but it has sat in the garage for the past 10 years and I'm guessing the freon leaked out slowly. I took it to the ford dealer and they looked over the system and found out that it is bone dry (no freon at all). Since they couldn't recharge it with R12 they told me my only option was to convert it to R134-A which would set me back 1400 bucks. They pressure tested the system with air and found no leaks so I decided to just go on ebay and buy some R12. I bought three 14 ounce cans of igloo dupoint R12 and a can of quite lubricating oil. My truck says it takes 2lbs and 12 ounces of freon. Do I just turn on my AC and hook up the cans to the low pressure side of the AC system and charge it that way? Can someone tell me where the low pressure port is. What about the hi pressure side. Also going to pick this hose charging adapter kit from autozone.
