Our Walmart seems to have Frosty Cool 134 refrigerant on their website. Is anyone familiar with this. I’m looking for refrigerant for my 2008 GM truck after I take care of some leaks.

Huh? The majority of the cars on the road use it. Find that hard to believe.I thought you couldnt get r134a in canada. Might have to cross to the usa to get some.
R1234YF is the new stuff. Comes standard in many cars now, unless they've since moved on to something else. I don't know anything about cross compatibility.Looks the same as this stuff I've used in the past...
Worked okay!

It’s true, R134a is illegal to sell to regular customers, you need a license to buy it. I used to buy it in states and bring it over. But if that is not feasible, the propane version works quite well apparently, but I never got a chance to use it.Huh? The majority of the cars on the road use it. Find that hard to believe.
How can putting a highly flammable gas into your a/c system be legal either? Get into a front end crash where the condenser is damaged and a small spark can set it off.It’s true, R134a is illegal to sell to regular customers, you need a license to buy it.

No different to having petrol in your lines?How can putting a highly flammable gas into your a/c system be legal either? Get into a front end crash where the condenser is damaged and a small spark can set it off.
Propane is many times as flammable as "petrol". You've been watching too many 70's TV shows where a car blows up in a crash. All staged. Many youtube videos to prove how hard it is get gas to explode.No different to having petrol in your lines?

Propane gas conversions use components specifically made for that application with thick walled tanks and heavy duty hoses. A condenser as well as most of the A/C lines are soft thin aluminum.
All flammable refrigerants, except two non-HC refrigerants: R-152a (also known as HFC-152a) and R-1234yf (HFO-1234yf), are unacceptable for use in new and retrofit MVACs. Importantly, R-152a and R-1234yf are acceptable for new MVACs only, where there are built-in safety features.
They are the ones that can give out $10,000 or is it $250,000 fines, so yes, you play by their rules.Ah yes, where all else fails let’s wheel out a government agency and their take on the matter
No legitimate shop would risk using propane in an A/C system and it's certainly not EPA approved.
