Default What's your A/C temp?

I'm asking for any and everyone's help here. When I serviced my AC system 2 years ago I replaced the liquid line that has the orifice tube, the accumulator, and the compressor because bearing and clutch went out. The original Sanden compressor seemed to worked AWESOME! After I replaced it, with what seems like a crappy, Murray compressor from Orielly, it hasn't cooled the way it use to. At 95F the coldest the AC got was 60F (with new compressor) with a temp gauge in the center AC vent. Not sure if the evaporator or condenser is clogged, or if the compressor is just aftermarket junk. I haven't hooked gauges to the system to check pressures. Can anyone tell me the temperature their AC puts out at the vents? And what brand of compressor? Thanks for any help

Yes thank you! I also changed the manifold hose, one hose was leaking. Did the same with flush. :/

70F at night and the center vent was at 54F, felt nice but still 20 degrees away from mid 30s.

I have not checked mine but even with mid 90's temps mine will freeze you out in less than 5 min at full tilt. Then I have to increase the temp and decrease the fan speed and I don't get cold very easy.

One of the best AC units I have out of the six different cars/trucks/SUV's/MH, it surprised me when I first bought it. That was of the few things that worked great.
