I pulled 29" of vaccum for an hour, let it set all night and verified I had no leaks, vaccumed again for 20 minutes then charged system with 3 cans of R134A. I keep a little thermometer in one out let and get between 45 and 48 degree vent temps going down the road! I am happy with it! Check out ackits.com, they have a lot of great info that pertains to our trucks. I would be happy to answer any other questions you might have, PM me.

This is exactly what I am going to do. I already made the POA adjustment using the same ackits link. I have the new hoses. I just need to flush the condensor and compressor then buy a new receiver dryer and o-ring kit.

Then just suck it dry, check for leaks, and fill it up.

Now if I could just get my engine back from the machine shop and get it installed...
