This!? I would love to have my a/c work this well! I can't get mine below 42 degrees?

I had your problem once with my truck. Put a rebuilt pump in it and all was better again. Would drop idle to where it would feel like it was was going to die when it was very hot outside and it had been driven for a ways down the highway....
