2008 f250 refrigerant charge

Hi I hope I am posting this in the right place. I have searched the site and have not found anything so I will start a new thread. I have a 2008 f250 crew cab lariat with dual zone climate control. I just replaced the the evaporator core and need to know how much freon my system is supposed to hold. I know there is a sticker under the hood that states the capacity but half of it is missing. I also know all the precedures as to vacuuming down the system and charging. All I need is the capacity. Can anyone help?

Thanks

That sounds like the oil capacity. Should be more than that. Most systems have somewhere between 1 and 3lbs.

35 on the low side and 250 on the high. When I had 36 ozin the compressor was still cycling. I ended up putting in 3lbs to het the reading I am at, but I think it's freezing up now. Does it give gas and diesel readings on the sticker?
