Well, it's an 07, and the A/C on those is usually decent. A Parallel Flow condenser about 25" x 14". Electric fans. Multiple charge attempts, replaced TXV and compressor. High side is 75psi. How much refrigerant was weighed in at each charge? Any oil added? Right now it looks like a defect...

The 1500 rpm number is the important stuff. Right now you are in a safe operating area for 107 ambient and those pressures. As many have pointed out you have no idea if there is enough oil in the system for a long and happy life. I understand the circumstances mean taking a chance. It has been 112f ...

And now that we have completely hijacked the OP's thread, let's get back to recovery machines. I have been through a couple of portable recovery units in my time working on stuff. Generally a 3/4 or 1 hp portable - because lugging anything else up on the roof is not going to happen. I started with a...

Cusser this is most likely somebody's troll account.

Besides, it is a Ford thing, you don't fix leaks -you buy fluids in larger packages.

We will be driving gasoline cars for a very long time. Pure electrics are ok for a mild costal climate, short trips, etc. Musk is one heck of a salesman, the Tesla will be around tightly packed cities for a long time too. Even with no dealer support, full of nasty lithium batteries. The Nissan Leaf,...

120 in Havasu, must have been October

Probably need to start with whether or not you have rear AC.

Your first test pressures were in line with what I would expect for an idle test with a high heat load like that.

T Bird: Check your P/T chart for 134a At 120f the vapor pressure is 171 psi. Evaporator sees every bit of that in a car parked in the sun in places like Phoenix. So 150 is about as high as I like to go on an MVAC system. R410 in residential will make you flinch a little more. 100 psi is fine. OP was...

Yeah Tim, he had about 20 ounces in it with hoses, connection losses etc. High side was ok, and the TXV was working with a 22 psi low side.

The condenser is not looking like a great performer right now.
