You are correct if the suction pressure is too low you will freeze up the evaporator coil with any refrigerant be it car,truck, house commercial etc. Pressure relates to temperature
there are close similarities between 12,134 and Duracool. I believe 134 is a tad higher then 12 and Duracool may be a tad lower then 12. If you were to charge your system and the suction line were cold and the pressure were say 25 lbs. Another system could be 30 lbs under similar circumstances. Assuming both expansion valves were good most likely the system with the lower pressure is moving less air thru the coil and it is going to be colder. What you need to keep in mind is if you don't have enough refrigerant in the system the suction line will not be cold and sweaty that means the coil is not cooling to its full capability and the pressure is going to be low and yes it will start icing up. In the GMC there is a thermostat in the evaporator section that cycles the compressor off when the air gets too cold then re-energizes the clutch when the air warms a bit.
I took mine out and installed a remote bulb thermostat with the bulb clamped to the suction line and set it at 33 degrees this way it rarely cycles the compressor and still prevents freeze up.
