Adding oil to the a/c system is a tricky one. Unless you remove every line and component and totally clean out the oil that is already there you truely never know how much is already in the system, therefore, you truely never know how much you need to add. The best way is to replace what came out oz for oz as close as possible. Too much oil is worse than not enough. I would drain out the new oil from the new compressor into a clean container that you can measure, then do the same for the old compressor. Only refill the new compressor with the new oil to the same volume of oil the old one had. Total system capacity of PAG oil for your truck is 10 oz. Only a tiny amount should leak from the lines when you take it apart. I would say about 2-3 oz are already in the system. If your compressor has 7-8 oz in it, that would be fine and you are in the ball park. Basically you don't want to add your 3 oz bottle when the compressor already has 12 oz, plus the system also has 3 oz still in it, now your over oiled.
You a/c system takes 3 pounds of R134.

Not everyone is good with a/c, and a/c is expensive for the shops to have good equipment. Unfortunately sometimes you do have look hard for a good shop.

I'm guessing it's the inner seal on the hub... but just guessing.
will have to bring it in and have it done, I don't have the knowledge, tools or experience with this to do it myself.

what can I expect to pay for a job like this, so I don't get taken to the cleaners?

Heavyd · Dec 28, 2011

Yes, sounds like a wheel seal. Usually about 2 hours labour depending on how oily everything got. The oil will soak into the brake shoes and ruin them, so you should put new shoes on too.

hd99_fatboy · Dec 28, 2011

roger that dude, thanks, trying to get it onto a shop tomorrow

hd99_fatboy · Jan 1, 2012

got the seal done, changed brake pads and drums on rear axle, both sides. drums were cheap enough and the old ones were worn pretty good, so I just changed em out.
good to go for a while now I hope.

have a great new year, and thanks for the help
