the a.c. charged and it won't take all the freon. On

Would have to put some gauges on to get a better idea but it sounds like a restriction in the system such as a condenser or expansion valve issue. Make sure your vent flaps are operating as well.

A.C condenser coil maybe clogged with dirt and bugs causing little to almost no air flow across the coils clean coils with garden hose and nozzle if radiator sets in front of condenser clean it also to get good air flow to condenser.

    My air conditioner works great except when I pull a hill then the air flow seems to decrease but the air is still cold. Once back on level ground the air flow picks up again.
