Early '05's had an A/C overfill problem. Too much factory installed 'freon'. Mine would cycle on and off when over 120 degrees. Which is not uncommon here. There was a TSB to remove 0.1 lb as I recall, but you could try to release about 2 pfhhhhts of 'freon' manually yourself and see if the condition improves. It doesn't sound like you've got much to lose anyway.
My compressor started making funny noises about 2 summers ago and was replaced on my extended warranty. About $800 as I recall.
