Air Conditioning Beef-Up
I live in AZ, and in the summer, my a/c isnt as cold as i think it could be or was. What is the best way to beef-up my a/c without breaking the bank? Freon?

It doesn't use Freon. Have a good A/C shop check it first...

No, I live in the east valley, and I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to make it colder.

If it's running correctly, it should freeze your fingers off. Do as Purple04 suggested and get it to a good shop that can check it out.

Your AC uses R134. You can buy an expensive recharge kit at the auto parts store that will let you add more to the system. It is better to by a mamifold kit with gauges and see where you are at though. My best advice is to just have a good AC shop test it. If you are low it will not be as cool and they can shoot a pound back in the system if it needs it.
