Hey there. Been a while since my last post.
Quick story-
Bought truck in winter, didn't really test A/C
Used A/C first time today (per wife), no cold air. (checked fuse, relay... good)
Found no refrigerant in system
There is 2 valves, 1 looks like a tire valve steam, the other a weird rubber piece.
Looks to be service valve leaking. When I removed the cap, I could hear it's faint hiss.
My questions-
Can I just go into a local store like autozone and ask for a service valve, and they know what I mean. Or is there a different name?
Are these the same?

Can I replace with the other valve type and prevent this from happening in the future?

Looking down into defective valve-
