AC Repair - can we say blow cold!

Had to replace the dyer, filter, and bearings ... I can now say it blows cold. As a matter of fact - all the way set to cold is actually to cold for the cab. Who knew the factory GM AC unit could blow this cold. Also they used R12.

Yep...I use nothing but r-12 in a factory AC system, as it was designed for. Ice cold air no matter how hot it is outside

I still think R-134 with a parallel-flow condenser (which isn't stock, of course) is even colder...

But what about R-12 with a parallel flow? That'd be cold. I've just never seen it done!

Possibly but ... I wanted to keep my AC as close to stock as I could.
