First off. I know some of you purist are going to tell me not and I should only stick to what came in the car blablabla and that some of yo are going to moan and ground and grunt that its dangerous cause its a highly flammable blablabla. If I didn't have three cans of duracool and a can of duradry laying around I would use R134a.
Car currently has a 2004 lm7 in it using the stock ac compressor which turns on and off when ac is running.
the issue that lies:
Using my ****ty Harbor Freight A/C gauges which I should just chunk but whatever. Im reading 170+ psi on the low side and 150 on the high side. Im suppose to see no more then 35 psi on the low side and some where around 150 psi on the high side. First can of duradry sucked right up without any issues. First can of duracool is well..... I have maybe been able to get a 1/4 can to get sucked in then it stops or just seems to go at a extremely slow rate of suction of duracool.
The pressure is whats worrying me on the low side and not being able to get any more refrigerant to go onto the system. A friend said that the 58% humidity could be part of it but i call bull.
any ideas? Been about 5 years since Ive touch an A/C system.
