Default normal vent temps?

what's "normal" on these trucks? I'm measuring from the vent between steering wheel and center stack using the incredibly accurate round silver thermometer.

I had a leaky high side valve, replaced both valves and had it recharged. With it on max ac, windows up and all driving to work this morning it said 78 degree outside temp and vent temp was around 52.

Seems to me it was colder in the past but never checked the actual temps to know and I know these things are picky as hell about the charge level, have expansion valve issues etc

My 2011 Lariat will average 40-42 degrees at the same vent, in 90-96 degrees.

Yep 52 no good, mine which has always been poor is about 42-44. Did they evacuate the system before charge? Could there be another leak?

Y’all pretty much confirm where I thought it should be. I dunno, I got BSd, I’ll check pressure myself real quick and if nothing obvious lll take it a different shop even if it takes a few days to get in
