Why don't you think it's the capacitor?

I'm not an expert, but when my capacitor went bad, the fan wouldn't work. It sounds like his ac is operating, but just unable to keep up during the hottest hours of the day.

My best guess is poor insulation, lots of sun exposure, dirty filter and/or coils, aging unit or some combination.

This was happening in my house also, and eventually the compressor ending up shorting. I was forced to do a forklift replacement on the entire system. Good thing is though I also went up to the next ton because my house was right on the borderline of 4 and 5 tons, and now I have no problems cooling the house to a decent temp.
