Default ac issues and need help

Had a friend go check my truck out for me he said the compression was kicken on and off, but it had no freon in it. I put some of the ac pro stuff in it last summer, but my actuator missed up.

I set it to heat in september 2014 and didn't switch it back to recently and it blew hot again.

My question here is do I change orfice tube and all seals and o rings on it? Before I charge it up or what?

Trying to fix why it leaked what I put in there.

To find a leak you either put dye oil in or you use a leak detector and run it over every connection. Dye is usually less of a headache.

It is pretty common for the high and low side ports to leak freon. GM sells a new piping set (from evaporator to condenser) that replaces both of them with revised versions.

I jumped my low pressure side earlier on the ac and well clutch engaged however blowing hot. I added some freon after taking the jump off the low pressure side. The clutch kicks on and off, but it acts like it is full and I know I didn't put much in it.

Inside the truck it dosent blow very hard on high not like it should.

What could be this causes of this since the ac comp and clutch or noth working fine?
