My AC has never worked well. I figure it's a factory defect. Back when it still worked, it struggled to keep up with the sun coming in the windows, driving down the highway. It's a regular cab, so it should not be hard to cool. I had the dealer check it out under warranty, and of course they said it was fine. I think the compressor started going bad at some point, as eventually you could really feel it kicking in and out... and I feel like a AC compressor shouldn't be dragging down a big block.
I did sort of have plans to completely rebuild the AC system, but at this point I don't think it's worth it anymore. I don't drive it enough.
I miss R12. I remember GM B-bodies from the 80's.... you could practically keep milk in them
Mine worked a couple of years after I got it and I did put a compressor on it and change to r134. When it quit working i found a spot on the condenser where something had hit it and was leaking. It was just a work truck back then so I never fixed it. Now its my retirement toy and I want the A/C. Never know when I may need a haircut or something important like that.
