Unhappy Need ac help

Hey everyone, have a 2000 Chevy burb. Trying to figure out how to go about this one. The ac blows air but it doesnt blow any cold air. Refrigerant was put in 2 months ago but it stopped working a few weeks ago. Ive watched alot of videos but would love if you guys could help me troubleshoot this problem easier.

Congratulations: you have diagnosed that your system has a refrigerant leak. So that needs to be found and repaired first.

Go to an AC shop, have UV dye added and let them find and fix the leak. They have equipment you do not have.

Nor the know-how of working on an A/C system, I agree. Let a shop do it correctly. OP likely didn't have a pump to eliminate the air that was in the system, when the R134A was added to the system, not that it matters with a leaking system

Appreciate it guys. Will take it to a shop this weekend. I also discovered that the rear ac works fine and does blow cold air. Not as cold as I would like but still cold nonetheless

Not uncommon with low refrigerant level. Front has orifice tube, rear has expansion valve.
