Take that master cylinder to the hardware store and look for a NPT square head plug, preferably black pipe...brass could work, but why be extra

AC performance check is in order from a qualified AC tech...if you've got a hole in that condenser or a leaky gasket spmewhere, then AC no worky. These newer systems seem more robust than the R12 days when they all seemed to leak over time. Before R134a came along, I remember asking several mechanics why R12 had to be topped off so much for a "sealed" system, and I was purty much told they all leak a little bit...YIKES. The last AC leak that I dealt with was 5 yrs ago on the QuadCab: hose retaining bolt apparently vibrated loose enough to break the seal, but gasket was still good, so every spring I crawl under the truck with a 10mm to retorque as required...so far, so good ❄️

On my first attempt to remove those 2 little bolts, the bypass housing flange ears busted all to pieces...not sure why, cuz I was taking my time and had applied Marvel Mystery Oil a few days prior, maybe that's just what they do. Anyhow, a local weld shop fixed that, then a few years later, I scored several NORS bypass housings and gaskets on eBay...the seller mentioned that he sourced this haul from a long ago closed down service station that he was cleaning out, so maybe these housings were known to be a common failure back in the day.
