Why is A/C colder at idle?
#31
I know this thread is probably older than my truck but I have been doing some research on the trucks AC issues. I looked at the chart and got my readings today from my gauges.
High Side is 295
Low Side is 34
Outside air is 95 degrees today.
recommended for this outside temperature is:
220 & 42
What do I need to do to get to these numbers. It gets hot as hell in TX and i need some cold AC.

I am no A/C expert by any means but it sounds like the system is overcharged. R134 unlike R12 systems can be overcharged so try letting some freon out. You may want to consider taking to a local shop they have recycling equipment which is better for the environment than just releasing into the atmosphere.
Trying hosing down the condenser, and make sure that the fan clutch is locking up with the A/C on - if it has an electronically controlled fan clutch.
