I call it biting cold. It doesn't matter if it's 105 degrees out, the air coming out of the vents is way too cold and I have to roll a window down to let some hot air in, or put on a jacket. With that Endeavor system it does not mix warm and cold air or otherwise allow me to adjust the temperature of the air coming out of the vents, and that is an annoyance. But I know I won't have that problem on my Chevy because on the Chevy I do have the ability to mix air. So this is what I'm looking for. I want my truck to have Cold A/C all the time in any traffic and on any day. Unforgiving biting cold if the temp mix is all the way to the left.
While it may never be perfect, if you're system is working, adding an electric fan on the front of your condenser will help a lot.

Obviously the upgraded condenser will be even better if used with an electric fan as well.
