Problem with a/c
I just had the dummy plugs and stand pipes replaced in my 06 got it all back together and everything worked fine Even the a/c. i took it up to the parts store so i could get more coolant for it and my stupid friend opened the degas cap while the truck was running it went poof(releasing pressure) i shut the truck off filled the over flow up put the cap back on and started her up. But now my a/c only blows out the defrost. i've tried looking for a vacuum leak but i can't find one(at least that's obvious) Any ideas on what the heck happened??

Thanks

Check the Grey line that hooks up kinda behind the oil fill tube.
