I probably should have mentioned that you want to rule out restrictions in the system before going this route, but I guess at the end of the day you now have a way of making your A/C ice cold in the summer when you aren't worried about it icing up. Could be that I just have a drifting evap temperature sensor, but it never got very cold even with the previous evaporator and I would hope the new unit came with a new sensor (the one thing I did not do myself, was just too busy at the time).

I mentioned it in my original post but I probably should have called it out more directly - if you jumper that evap temp sensor with a 2kΩ resistor and the A/C goes from being coolish 55F to blasting ice cold air then your A/C is mechanically sound and the evap sensor is a potential culprit.

Glad you got it worked out!
