How much A/C coolant?

[Footloose301]

Couldn't find a thread on this, but I have absolutely no coolant for my A/C and I want to fill it. Does anybody know how much the stealership is to refill? Or how many cans I need to pick up from advance auto? Thanks!

Note: Its a 2004 King cab.

Under The Hood You Will Find A Sticker That States How Many Pounds Of Refrigerant Is Required. Our Trucks Also Come With A Sight Glass. It Is A Clear Glass Located On Refrigerant Line. When System Is Low In Gas You Will See Bubles. Add Refrigerant Till Glass Is Clear (no Bubbles)

Why do you have no coolant in your lines?

Isn't that an indication of a serious leak that needs detected by dye, and fixed by an A/C Mechanic?

It happened when MR. Know-it-all, AKA "FATHER" decided to help me take out the radiator last weekend to repair it and I guess he disconnected something he shouldn't have and now I have no coolant at all.

....Looking here on ebay and noticing the 3 cans of R-134a for about $35+shipping. It says its enough to do 1 car.... I wonder if its enough to do mine..

Its cheapter to buy 3 cans of R-134a at wal-mart than at ebay or some part store. Last time I checked it was like 6 or 7 dollars a can.
