I'm in Florida where it's 92 degrees every day during the summer. A year ago when my A/C started to falter I went to a local air conditioning shop and they converted it over to R134. It has worked flawlessly since. An operational note: Because the system can only recover a certain ratio of outside temp to inside cool, it's recommended that when you feel the inside temp getting a little cooler, go to the recirculating mode on your A/C controller. That way, the inlet temp to outlet temp baseline is lowered and the car gets cooler. It also helps prevent the condenser from icing up. I have a dark color car which makes it a bit harder for the A/C to overcome but it does work using this method.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
