Any local A/C shops around the DFW area? I accidently overcharged my a/c system using the AC Cold Pro from oreillys. Haha.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't have to be an automotive shop to do the work. Most commercial techs carry the fittings to put gauges on your truck. I would do it if I was closer.

Most pros don't want to touch your AC system if you've put anything with leak sealer in there.

Lots of different places
I did the exact same thing to my wife's little Sentra, went to the OTHER auto parts store in town and bought a set of A/C gauges to bleed off the high side ;) For what somebody will charge you, and on the off chance that you'll use them again (I know I will, **** those A/C Pro bastards), you could get your own from like Harbor Freight:
