A/C will be cold and after a while (15 minutes to 1 hour) it gets warm. If I shut the truck off and back on it's cold again. This will work every time. The A/C is cold normally and when it gets warm the compressor is not on. If I shut the truck off for just a few seconds the compressor will kick on and it's nice and cold again. It could last 5 minutes or an hour. Some days it will work fine, normally when it is a little cooler out.

Good morning,

Do you have a set of gauges to give me the high and low side readings?

If the low side pressure drops too low, the clutch will disengage and warm air comes out.
