  23. mate sounds like it has a shortage of gas not a lot because it still works fine when the compressor is spinning fast shifting heaps of gas real quick just enough so that although system is working fine there isnt enough gas going to the evaporator (the bit in the dash) for it to work properly and get ice cold when the truck idles if that makes any sense the dealer is full of crap it should be chilly all the time At least thats my thoughts maybe the gas works different up side down Paul
