    Have the above mentioned truck. We replaced the air conditioning compressor and a few lines. How do you jump the compressor to get it to suck freon? I cant find a low pressure cut off switch at all. I did find a high pressure cutoff switch, and another one right beside it, its color is brown. System will hold vacuum, but wont engage the compressor clutch now that it is out of freon. TIA

    You should be able to just shoot some freon in there and it will raise the pressure enough to kick on the compressor. It will short cycle for a bit until more pressure builds.
