I've watched about 10 videos and had no clue where to put this stuff until I can across this. Thanks guys!

Great instructions up to getting the cap. At that point these guys looked like an accident waiting to happen

HaHa thanks for pointing out the location. yeah I've observed other videos that you need to rotate the can 90 degrees while filling upright to sideways bout ever other second. If you get to the bottom of the bottle... turn it upside down and pull the trigger/valve to get the last bit. DO NOT OVERFILL - and good luck. id put that cap in my pocket if you have cap eating ferrets in you neck o the woods.LOL.

Thanks very much for this video. I have the same truck and I couldn't believe how hard it was to get just the right angle so that stupid thing would press onto the low pressure port! But thanks to your video I was able to finally get it.

Its cause the caps are so massive on the pro model. Buy a set of gauges and own them forever and get cans at 8 bucks.

Tip the can upside down to allow the liquid to enter the system then upright to read the level PS. Gloves are a wonderful thing

Thanks guys, just charged my 08 silverado!

Thanks. Just did my 15 Silverado. Was unsure what one was service port. This helped.

@@DoItWithDave Why does this link say to put it on the low pressure charging port (the port you show in the beginning but say to NOT use) ? www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2013_Chevrolet_Silverado_1500_LT_5.3L_V8_FlexFuel_Crew_Cab_Pickup/air_conditioner/recharge_freon

If I hadn't watched your video, I would still be wondering why the gauge didn't fit! (Wrong port!) Thank you guys!!

Same hear , i was looking everywhere

I wonder why my gauge went up to the red when compressor cut on???

Never used an air hose? Lol. But thank you !! Only video that actually shows how to do it!

FYI, these vehicles are notorious for breaks in the lines so check for fluid leaks underneath when you’re done. I’ve already had 3 pinhole leaks.

@@bigfatmel74 Depending on where the hole is, it can be a simple (but not easy) repair with a line splice. The tough part is getting a pipe cutter on the line with 3 others around it in a tight space, then having the leverage to push the lines together tightly while putting on the splice which can be difficult, bc you’d almost need 3 hands.

FYI rotate the can from upside down to side ways while filling… not really suppose to leave it on its side.

Nice. You just added the air in the hose as well into your ac system.

You guys should have watched a video on how to do this before you did your own .

Shake well before starting, gloves and eye protection

Does that gauge come with the coolant, or do you buy it separately?

@DoItWithDave

For the brand it comes with everything shown on the video. The can (full of coolant) and hose with pressure gauge. It's a bit more pricey than just a can of coolant but it definitely helped determine how much we should be adding.

Thank you for being simple

Thank you.

Lol...he said you wanna go back out and give it a couple more squeezes or what

Turn the truck off, your worring me sticking your hand down there. Glad it got cold.

OK. Kind of weird. Mine did not fit on the low pressure port. It fit on the high pressure port only. We unloaded the whole can and the directions even showed the high pressure port. Air was then ice cold in minutes. So, does it matter?

@DoItWithDave

If the directions show you're able to attach to either side and the air is ice cold I'd think you just got your a/c back just in time for summer.

I haven't done mine but the pulley on my air compressor doesn't run. So I think I need to get that fixed instead of just adding coolant. Cause I've read to not add coolant if the pulley on the compressor doesn't run but I'm not 100% sure

Exactly you have to trick your low side pressure switch with hampering it out so it will keep the ac clutch going in order to add the coolant.
