Even more awesome in person
Used the Ford yellow orifice at @L31MaxExpress advice. I'm ready to put more in simply based on that I haven't yet filled it to GM spec. The truck is a 1993 which of course was R12, but I've replaced everything with parts spec'd for same truck but 1994 model which is R134a - and I've got the 1994 factory manuals here. It says system capacity is 2lbs R134a, so I should be about 8oz short at the moment. Time to get out the wife's kitchen scale.Kick your idle up to 1500rpm and see what happens with the temps.
I'm no expert(I'll lead with that), but I would put some more in. I also like to use an adjustable low pressure switch and pull it down further before it cycles. Did you use a Ford orange orifice tube?
