Help with A/C

I have a 2000 F250 V10.When driving around town,the A/C cools the cabin very nicely.At sustained highway speed,it will blow cold air followed by ambient air and this will cycle the entire trip.The cabin can get quite warm.Dealer checked it out,recharged Freon and found nothing else.Any ideas?Thanks from a hot driver in South Carolina.

Do a search on here for the AC mod. it's very cheap and pretty easy to do, especially for a 10 degree temp drop.

Try this test:

It's more difficult to do with the compressor underneath instead of up top, but it can be done.
