It is hot... A/C needs help!
ok here is the deal... the A/C blows cold but the temp in the Jeep really does not get very cold...
outside temp 98-100F
cabin temps in rear seats 92F
temp in center vent @ idle 64.5F
temp in center vent while moving 56F
it feels cooler in the front seats (but still a little warm)... hotter in the rear
so that the deal... the Jeep is an oven... ideas?

General air leaks at all locations. The AC has never worked in the Peep. Trouble developing is each year fewer of the windows go down. It's gettin hotter.
How was your heat at end of last winter? Check your side and rear door seals. Need to have less air exchange in the cabin for the AC to overcome the heat. Also insure you have set your AC control to the recirc condition.

as for checking the refrigerant level... I did it myself... seemed to be within spec... for the life of me I can not seem to recall what it came up as... I just remember I looked on the R-134a tempurerature/pressure chart and it was almost dead on

I know... if I am pushing more air doesnt that make the A/C work better?

and a small one on the bottom under the dash... where the hvac case splits in half... did the same there too
the HEAT WAS AWESOME!
the cab is fairly quiet... never noticed any major air leaks...
it is... I also ensured that the recirc door was open...

Everything I've read says 134a is very sensitive to the amount of oil in the system. Also, the accumulator/dryer and orifice tube are filters and can greatly effect performance. When we did our overhaul 6/10, we flushed the evap and cond, drained the compressor, installed a new dryer and orifice tube and added the precise amount of oil called for. Had a shop pull a vacuum and add refrigerant.
