No A/C problems......
Living in South Florida A/C is a must and it must work well. After a full flush and replace with 50/50 distilled and Dex, cleaned out the radiator, installed a Big Mouth Air Dam and an install of a new thermostat the air is so cold I can't keep the temp on max on the control. Also changed all hosed that move coolant.
One of the above worked real well.

Are you implying that the AC was not working well before the above work?? Or are you saying that doing all that didn't hurt the AC??

Guess i'm saying enough work to the cooling system has caused the a/c to work better that it has ever worked. The objective was to have an efficent coolant system and the secondary effect was the a/c runs colder.
