I did however have Midas do the ac last summer and they replaced the fitting because mine were leaking. I dont think my gauge hose is pressing down Schrader valve to let the refrigerant flow.

I'm going to go down to Oriellys and get new fittings and try that.
Can you push a pen or similar Into the valve and see if anything comes out. Good luck with getting it to work. I just have bad luck with items like that. I'm gone fully service the AC this summer and do a vacuum, check for leaks and fill up. I don't use it much, its mainly for te fiancé. Just sucks it'll be $100 to do it. Oh that and for te compressor to kick on for defrost I guess

Check tirerack as well as Craigslist. I like my Firestone destination ATs. Serve their purpose. By great for heavy offroad but light rocks, mud and such you're good. As for price you might hve to get a Kelly brand tire or similar

Yes, there is absolutely no pressure in the lines. Both high and low side lines are completly empty. I do have some leak detector fluid in the system still. I know theres a leak but i cant find it without charging the system and using the black light. So im in the process of the repair and it not going so well.

Im going to try and figure out my line issue today.
