Does it have the proper amount of freon?

What he said. Without getting a set of AC gauges on it, do not know what you are dealing. Could be leak, pressure switch or myriad of other things.

No magic bullet here but guesses without some more diagnostic info.

Yes, but preliminarily, he can check his low side freon level and service it using a kit found at walmart or any parts store for $30-40. That's less than a diagnostic fee at most places. If that doesn't work, then he knows that is not the issue and can at least rule it out. If I didn't have the proper tools, that is what I would do.

Bought 07 QC 4x4 G56 some 18 months ago with 312,000 on it well below market. All the wear items needed replacing. Clutch, brakes, steering box, joints, shocks, belts hoses and so on.. of course I have full value in it now. But it drive great and goes anywhere. It has about 330,000 on it now.
