I have a Ram 2500 24 valve turbo deisel and the AC works great and blows very cold, however sometimes when I stop in traffiic or traveling slow it blows warm air. It doesnt turn back to cold unless I turn the system off for approximately 2 minutes. Once I turn it back on it blows cold again. The problem is intermittent and does not happen every day.... just every once in a while but coming more of an issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi PAK77, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Could be freezing up due to air and moisture forming into ice and blocking off the orifice tube try having it vacuumed to include a faulty low pressue switch, AC control switch, bad temperature sensor and the HVAC control module
