Is bumping up the A/C refrigerant a DIY thing? Mine worked fine up until a couple weeks ago, think it needs some help.

Depends. If it's an R134A system, it's pretty straightforward, as long as low pressure is your only issue. Most parts stores sell cans with a gauge you can use.
If it's R1234YF, you're better off going to a pro. It's also very expensive (last I checked it was $22 an ounce!)

How dl I determine if mine is the R134?

Check for stickers under the hood and it should show you what type of Freon is being used
2012 vehicles do not have R1234YF (too new) rather I am positive it is R134 but again, labels are your friend.

I think it was 2015 or 16 when they went to the R1234yf, but yes look at the stickers. It should be near the radiator if I'm remembering correctly.

My 2015 Ram was R134A but like anything, I am sure it was slow roll out across vehicle lines so some lines may have had the new stuff while us poor lonely Ram owners are always left behind. LOL J/K
