2016 F250 A/C problem
I need help with my ac problem. I have exhausted all my knowledge.
Currently all new parts. Expansion valve, condenser, compressor, evaporator changed. Shop charged with ac machine.
Problem
Temperature in traffic climbs rapidly, when moving it will cool down to 50ish. Any ideas for additional trouble shooting?

Inspect your condenser for damaged fins, clean your condenser and radiator to get better air flow.

That screams airflow issue through the condenser, as mentioned above. How old is your fan clutch?

The op said "currently all new parts" and listed the "condenser" as one of the new parts.

If the condensor is new, is the fan clutch functioning properly?

If the condenser is new the radiator could still be restricted cutting down the air flow through the condenser.
