    I was searching and couldnt find any thread on sight glass on AC system on our generation.

    Do 2008 Prerunner V6s have a sight glass anywhere ??

    Thanks

    No there is no sight glass, those pretty much went away with R12.

    All current refrigerants are charged by weight not by clearing the sight glass.

    You can use high and low side pressures to get "close" providing the system is functioning correctly but the best way is by weight.

    If you need a drummer, I'm your man.
    I ain't never play the drums.
    But I won't pass up the opportunity to beat the hell out of stuff with a couple wooden sticks.
    And get paid for it too.......Sound like the perfect job. I'm in.
