to anyone with a/c issues remember this, all a/c lose freon because of the pores in the hoses. On old r-12 systems losing a 1/4lb per year was normal. on newer ones losing an 1/8 to a 1/4 is normal. As for the ford compressor. The post I've read are right. The system sounds like it needs some R-134. Important though is to do this in a shaded area with the temp outside being around 70 degrees, with the windows up and blower motor on high, and check the temp at the vent near the blower motor should be anywhere from high 40's to mid 50's at the vent. And the compressor should cycle (on-off) every eight seconds. And run the system for a while to let it stablize. Good Luck.
