So today (stamp you're going to be frustrated at me for doing this) a buddy of mine had some cans left over of some r134a and some leak sealer... I figured I'd buy another can of my own to be sure I have enough to fill the system and went ahead and added the refrigerant to the low side as needed. Used a gauge that had the temp on it and brought it right in the center where it held no problem.. Checked inside and the AC was freezing cold, (today it is 94° over here) and it seems to be staying that way so far.
I am not hearing any real squealing or buzzing or knocking in the AC system and as I read on other forums that's a good sign.
I read also on other forums that an interval hissing sound in the dash when the car is running for about 10 seconds per interval is mostly normal, I am getting that sound and the air is still nice and cold.
Also when the truck is shut off I hear the system possibly depressurizing by a slight click noise then a quiet hiss sound over a few times where it eventually stops.
As I read... this all seems normal and relatively good but I could just looking too much at the glass half full.
Would like to know what you guys think or what you guys from personal experience with charging up the AC system in an expy. Are these symptoms normal or should I continue to take further action and check more options out?
Edit: hear about possibly cleaning condenser and evaporators?
