Air Conditioning Improvement Needed

Hi All,
I'm in desparate need to improve my air conditioner in my 2002 7.3L Diesel Excursion Ultimate. I live in the Phoenix area and really need to figure out a way to improve the AC. It does fine when going 70mph down the road, but if its been sitting in the sun in a parking lot, then drive in normal city driving, it doesn't cool down at all. I've read about a mod on dieselsite.com which stops the antifreeze flowing from the radiator through the heater core while AC is in max; would this mod help me? Any other mods available?
Thanks,
Drew

I agree. Share with us all, that way if someone does a search later, they will see the answer also.

That is pretty cool. No pun intended. Would you need two with the rear A/C?

Sorry guys. I just don't feel right about linking in the open to a competing forum anymore. I guess it's just me being paranoid. I see it really don't matter.

Paranoia over.
