Air Conditioning problem
1996 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

My air conditioning on my 96 k1500 quite getting cold. I put a gauge on it from one of the refill kits and says that the coolant pressure is good and the clutch kicks on and off near constantly. Any idea of what my problem is?

Could be a problem with the magnetic clutch or voltage drop to it and also the low pressure switch
