I posted the following last Friday, on a Dodge site that has a sub-forum for the RAM pickups. Only one person has responded so far. Wondering what the good folks here think of all of this. I never 'needed' A/C until we had it. I still do without most times, but my wife has to have it. (And I'm the one who grew up in Oklahoma....) Purchased our 2019 RAM Classic last year. Now the A/C is no longer cold. I guess I'm late to find out, but it uses R1234YF, not R134A. So, what's the difference, besides the newer stuff having a ridiculous high price? Can the compressor system use the older type? (I saw a bit of discussion about adapter connectors.) Now I'm wondering is this is why we got what seemed like a really decent deal on the pickup..... Further research (I've been playing catchup - I must be around 10 years behind on finding out about this) reveals that it's something about the life time of the stuff if or when it escapes into the air. This new stuff lasts only 11 days, where as the R134a lasts for a long time, months, I think they said.
