96' F350 not cooling enough

ON my 96' I wanted to grab a can of coolant from Auto Zone and see if that will help me.

Blower is strong, it does cool off, but even on MAX A/C it's not enough, not even as cold as last summer.

So does the 96' have the 134a in it, and where would I hook up the can with the little gauge?

Is there more than one port?

Thanks

it has 134a, the low side port (filling port) is on the black vertical can(accumulator) which is on the heater box. Get refrig w/o leak sealer, shops wont like you if you need to get it serviced later.

tell us what psi you get and what is the ambient temp.
