So I replaced the ac pump on the 1ton cause the case was cracked. I figured since this was a complete fill from nothing job I would spring and get the fancy Interdynamics manifold gauge set (MF134). Has anyone used these?

I couldnt get it to take any oil, or freon thru this setup. First it flat wouldnt puncture the can with the cheap ass setup they have. I put a different piercing system. Still wouldnt take. Anyone here have tips on this thing?

I went old-school and just used a basic hose and got it to take the other can of oil, and 2 cans of freon(24oz). Still not kicking the compressor on itself (I can manul kick it on). I know the truck requires 36oz. Is 24 to 36 a big enough difference to make that happen?

I know at 24oz and manual override, no females are gonna want to ride in that thing

R134 is very sensitive to the amount it requires. I've got professional machines at work, but dad has a gauge set. I remember having to open or close the valves in a way that didnt make any sense to me at the time. Otherwise nothing happened.
