Al,
   You've changed over an American pickup truck. American cars, and GM
specifically, are known for strong AC units that will cool an interior
enough to hang meat. A pickup truck cab is decidedly small with windows
that lean a bit towards vertical thus decreasing the amount of solar energy
that can enter and heat the interior. To my way of thinking (not always a
strong point) an American pickup truck would be one of the easier vehicles
to cool. Let's see you change over that 200 and then we've got an
experiment!
