Thanks for the great Response Xzo6.

Really appreciate the information and education. I suspect you are right and this compressor is smaller than that on my other cars.

I have always been careful not to overcharge system. Actually it has been easier to detect an overcharge in the 134 systems since they will start to throw warmer air if too far beyond capacity. Also I know the intercooler will have a negative effect on A/C Performance.

Having owned fords for so long and having relationships with some good techs, I believe this was just a case of a little refrigerant loss with the seating of all the o-rings in a new system. I have had more than one tech tell me that a small loss in a new car is not that uncommon.

As I said, I only added the better part of a 3 oz can. and the system responded well and I am satisfied with the current performance.

Thanks again for your response.
