[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 17007538, member: 10216"] neither of my terminators have this problem, but a couple of years ago my f-150 did and i was able to fix it sucessfully even though prior to that i had very little knowledge about it and never worked on an a/c system before. i was able to learn a lot watching youtube, etc. i generally don't like taking my vehicles to a shop either, and i don't recommend it to anyone because it's hard to find people who are not going to try to rip you off. in this case, since i knew nothing about a/c i did bring it to a shop initially, but it just confirmed my suspiciions because they tried to tell me that the system had a leak and tried to upsell me some hoses. of course it didn't (held a deep vacuum for two days), and now almost three years later the system is still blowing cold after i was able to fix it myself. it was just probably a bit low on charge. i believe you do need a shop to be able to evacuate the system though because it is difficult to capture it yourself, and you are not supposed to vent it to the atmosphere. they charged me $65 for that even though i hear some shops will do it for free because they turn around and sell the recovered refrigerant. instead of buying a manifold gauge set, i was able to rent one (and the vacuum pump) from o'reilly/autozone. i bought the r-134 and pag oil from them. best of luck with it!
