ANSWER: Donna, how much did you put in? they typically hold around 3-4 pounds (2-3 cans of freon) If it is trying to work now, I think you may need more put in just dont put too much as this will cause internal damage to the A/C compressor

QUESTION: wow, thanks for getting back so fast matt........yes, put in 2 of the small cans........even when i have everything off hot air blows out, could something not be "opening up"? thanks sooooo much for tryng to help me, the 2 dogs in the truck yesterday had their heads hanging out the window drooling !!
AnswerThere could be a diverter door not opening under the dash causing the problem. they work off of vacume from the engine so of there is no vacume they won't open or they could just be simply stuck open letting heat in and not air. You can pull the covers off under the dash to investigate just take your time and check them all
