Default Air conditioner

Any of you guys notice that your air conditioning isn't as cold as most other cars out there. Or do i have a problem...it works, its much colder then not having the a/c on but compared to most other cars or trucks out there its nothing close...whenever i get into someone elses vehicle i always tell them to turn the a/c down cause its freezing cold

You know, I never noticed the A/C not being cold enough, never an issue with me at all. But, I just installed an electric radiator fan, ditching the stock fan on the belt(and yes, I know the A/C condenser has it's own) as well as a 180* thermostat, and I could swear the A/C is blowing much colder air.

Yes I noticed too. My reg. cab is only a couple weeks old and I noticed that right away. My wifes accord will freeze you out. I have to keep my AC on recirc and third fan speed to maintain the accords non recirc 1 speed to stay cool. Nature of the beast I guess. Everything else works good as adverstised.

Mine blows freezing up until about 100 degrees, when it get shotter it leaves some to be desired though. It has been 110+ for a few weeks now during the day so the ac isn't blowing as cold as I would like it but at 115 degrees I can't expect it to be ice cubes coming out. It works the best at 95 and below I have noticed. The heat doesn't bug me too terribly much though, I am used to it as I live in a desert. Sheesh, it hasn't even rained in 2007 yet for me.

I don't have a problem with mine either. Blows cold instantly. The only thing is when the truck sits in the sun for a long time, it takes about 10 minutes to cool the cab. Once the cab is cool, everything is good. As far as being worse than other cars, I can say that my AC beats any luxary cars out there. My jag sucks, the Caddy STS before that sucked, my friends lexus is even worse. The only car that I have been in that has a real good AC is the BMW. Those get real cold.
