you can recharge it your self for like 10-20 bucks depending on how much refridgerant you need.

i just did it on my bravada, i bought pressure reader/filler in one "tool" and the pressure is suppose to be at like 25-30 psi, i was at like 7psi so i need 2 cans

i got it off like JC whitney

i thought that i needed to empty the system, apply vacuum, replace oil, and then refill.

so what your saying is......... i can buy one of those cans at auto zone. hook it up to the lower ac hose and just refill? without having to empty, vacuum and completely replace the r134?

right, and your compressor must be engaged in order to allow it to fill.
