What's this?

It is not freon, it is called 134a refrigerant


Yes, you can buy it at any auto parts store with the hose you need.

With an old AC, it will not work as well as freon. I have a 1987 dodge where I put it in.

Oh, if you go that route, You can put a special blue dye in first, then the 134a. It there is a leak, you will find which hose etc. it is quickly.

Do not ask me what the blue dye is, I have someone else work on my old trucks.
