DMLers:

The last 2 days I noticed my A/C is not getting as cool as it use to. I tried using one
of those R134a re-charge cans with the little gauge on it. But the nozzle did not fit
on my low-side port. ( by the way, low-side is next to compressor right? )

I suspect since its a 1992 truck, its still R12 system. If I need to convert to 134a,
can someone tell what I need to do?

Oh, on a slightly different subject: I googled for "R134a" and I noticed some 134a cans
come with UV dye in it already so you can spot leaks with a UV light. Any one try these
cans? Apparently you need at least 1 - 8oz can in your system for it to have enough dye
that you can see with UV light.
