Hi Jarred318, Welcome to 2carpros and Ty for the donation

Your probable causes here could be one of the following whether its manual or auto AC system-Could be the orfice tube but you take care of that, low pressure cut switch, clutch relay, the clutch itself, defective temperature sensor and the HVAC control module
