everything was flushed back back flushed,
new orfice tube
new accumulator,
system oil added
new compressor
2lbs 10oz, r134a added
not cooling still
i even have heater core bypass mod
i dont know what to do, i have tried everything,
interior air is coming out at 78 degree, it is 98 right now
low side at 1500rpm is 28psi and high side is about 230
idle low is about 45psi an high is about 250psi
it makes me think condenser, but it was flushed thru fine
any hep would be great
its a 2002 f350 =(

A couple of questions for you.

What are static pressures?

When you say flushed did they keep track of the amount of oil that was evacuated? If you put more oil in plus the oil that comes in the compressor you may have too much oil.

I also agree with tipsy, it could also be inadequate air movement.

static pressure is about 120psi
i have a new condenser now,
i flushed all the oil out with the flush, and changed the compressor at the same time, the compressor came with 1.5oz of the ICE oil, and i added 7.5oz distrubuted around between the condenser evap and accumulator, everything is now new but the evaporator, could it be plugged?, the lines get cold going into the evap, but its just not cooling, even going down the road =(
