Sure may sound a little odd , buying new to me truck,, 2002 PSD, At first glance should I see a R134tag or A R12tag( in stock form) under hood?

Should be R134, R12 was long gone by 2002. My 2000 uses R134.

I didn't know for sure I really meant to find answer through searching but read for over an hour in the forums and never saw any words or phrases that made me 100% sure.

If you read the Ford parts site and put Vin# in, a lot of R-12 words under compressor parts come up, I panicked. Thanks for reply.

93 was the conversion year for R-12, by 94 all vehicles made int he USA had R134-A.
there should not be a tag telling what refrigerant to use under the hood in a 2002 vehicle.

There should be a sticker saying what type and the charge by weight of refrigerant. This is on a 2004 F350 w/5.4L gas engine.

Thanks to all who shared, I do know our 95 accord still had R-12 in it, that conversion included a lot of parts besides the port retro-fit kit. Thanks again for peace.
