How much freon in a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9?

Answer 1

The 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Extended cab Laramie SLT uses 32 oz of 134A. I have converted mine to Industrial 12A which is much cheaper and much easier to compress therefore extending the A/C components life. It only requires 12oz of Industrial 12 A as 6 oz of 12A is equivalent to 16 oz of R134A. Doesn't require a deep vacuum either ........only 5-10hg maximum. You are putting a liquid into the system instead of the R134A gas. I deep vacuum for leak purposes but then reduce it to the 5hg which is the recommended vacuum ofr Industrial 12A. It also cools by a minimum of 15F cooler than R134A.
