    Why do you need to recharge your AC in a new Truck?
    If it's a warranty issue take it to the dealer.

    I'd say you need to exersize your warranty on that thing, saying as how it's a 2016.

    Just sayin...

    Hasn't been back since he posted at 3:02.

    He'll have reading to do later, all saying basically the same thing.

    I'm sorry but when I read that you have a homemade vacuum pump then saw a bag over your head :anonymous:. I was imagining something else.

    Maybe he did what I did when I was like 17 with my tundra. I accidently let all of the refrigerant out by adding a horn from a Cadillac that I got from pull-a-part hehe

    Don't be sorry.

    But I'll bet there aren't 5 units like mine in the country.

    Does that help?

    Ok, if you insist, its made from a water cooler compressor. Works great.

    He may think his A/C isn't cool enough and thinks he can just add refrigerant to the system to make it colder... the world may never know since we may never see OP again :notsure:

    He probably doesn't realize that due to environmental issues manufacturers are forced to use more eco friendly refrigerant, which is better for the environment but doesn't cool off cars like the older stuff. R12 was the best except for the whole in the ozone layer that it was helping create.
