    I don’t know about the big trucks but my 2019 pickup requires something different, 404 maybe?

    There should be a stickers somewhere or call the dealer and ask, no idea when they changed

    Your pickup has R-1234yf. Requires a really high dollar machine to service the system.

    That's exactly what they said when they mandated the changeover from R12 to R134A.
