How cold can you go?
I just recharged my AC system today, $18.99 for an 18oz can with gauge.
It had not been cooling for a year or so, I followed the instructions on the can, it was easy once I found the low pressure schrader valve (under the starter solenoid)
I used an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer, with out door sensor in the vent AC on Max, fan on High, it read 41.9* F, current temp today is 72* F, This test was done while idling, probably colder when driving!!
I don't know what is normal but that is good to me!!

You should've bought the dark blue can called Arctic Freeze (I think). It's a little more expensive but you can reuse the supplied gauge and hose with the small 12oz cans of 134a.
But anyways, thats really good results. I need to replace the low side valve on my truck, the valve is stuck closed so I can't add any 134a.
