Agree 100%. I did R-134 in a previous truck with factory AC. Recalibrated POA valve, flushed system, swung a dead chicken over my head, etc. Had to be doing 70 on the freeway for it to get cold on just a "warm" day.
Went with R-12 on my next truck with factory AC. It blows snowballs out the vents in 110 degree temps, sitting at a stand still in So Cal traffic. Yes it costs more than R 134 but so what? You charge it once either way and you are done. The bottom line is you want cold air and with R 12 you get it no matter what. What good is AC if it don't work?? No hoops to jump through and "hope" it works in the end with R 12.
