Not a problem, Tahoe and Suburban was changed from R12 to R134A in 1994 and the label should be on the fan shroud cover I think... Originally Posted by loic

Is the truck running when you are recharging the AC and is the fan on high with AC on? Originally Posted by loic

might also be too high pressure in the system, that has happened to me before.
Does the compressor turn on at all?-----------
