1993 jeep Cherokee uses R12. But, if your vehichle has been upgraded it would be R134a. Look at your compressor, located on the mid lieft front side of the engine compartment. If it's OEM it should tell you what type of refrigerant is used. Also, you can look at the engine compartment sticker, located drivers side, against the fire wall.
I assume it is not starting? You turn the key and it goes click click click. You have a dead battery.
Hey Kristy==The system was origionally built to operate on R12. This is not available now and the system has to be converted to R134. GoodluckJoe
All cars & trucks made in 1994 and after have to use R134 (federal regulations). 1993 & earlier use R12.
R-134. All cars/trucks 1994 and after use R-134. 1993 and before use R-12.

***SUM'S Answer***- Your thinking a ford engine by saying 5.4L. Your dodge Dakota is a 5.2L 318cu.in. They take 5 quarts of oil.
4 1/2 quarts

Vehicles of that vintage originally used Freon 12, BUT, you can easily convert to 134-A. You'll need to have someone evacuate any remaining freon from your system and remove any of the oil. Some of the oil used in Freon 12 systems is reported to be incompatable with the 134-A refrigerant, but I actually haven't encoutered any. You'll need the adapter connections, but they're relatively inexpensive at most auto parts retailers, then you'll need a can of oil charge and however many additional cans your Dakota will need.
