AC works well around town. When on the highway today driving, 65-70 mph, it's not as cold and doesn't seem to blow as strong as usual. It's 85 outside. Seems like a lot of water under the truck when I parked . System recently recharged. After stopping for a while it gets cold again. Is this normal. Thanks.

If you keep having to refill the R-134A, there is a leak somewhere. There is a pipe that goes from the "low" vacuum point fill for the a/c system, down the drivers side fender, and ends behind the Land Rover grille badge. That connection is a point of failure, and I should know as I had to replace it for $130.00 and the evaporator/drier as well for another $60.00.
The easiest way detect it is to have UV dye enter the a/c system when it is refilled, and with the UV light check where the leak is. You can also look behind the badge to see if the connection is damp, and/or you might smell the R-134A leaking out. You can also listen for a hissing sound as well.
