I see some have posted of their AC not blowing cold or getting hot. Common issue on these trucks at idle etc. I found somewhere, and I use this work out daily and it seems to help some, that if happens, truck running, turn **** to AC, from max AC. Turn off recirc, turn off AC, then continue **** to off shutting down system. Wait a few moments, turn know back to AC, turn on AC, then turn on recirc, then rotate **** to max AC. Something to do with the blend door staying open after truck is turned off with AC on. And playing with **** forces blend door to move if it didn't at truck start up.
I would go that route if the compressor was engaged and pumping freon. The low side isnt cold, high side isnt hot, it does nothing whatsoever. Today I was driving home from roughly two hours away and had no AC. I hit a small pot hole in the road roughly 10 minutes out from home and there came cold air.

I am told that there is a AC Clutch relay and its "highly" likely that this could be the culprit. I need to locate this relay and go purchase one. Its worth a $30.00 investment to have cold air in 95 degree weather.
