Seems to be running fine but the A/C suddenly stopped blowing cold and the temperature gauge dropped.

Good morning,

I attached a wiring diagram for you to view. Check the fuses I circled for power on both sides with the key on. This is not a visual inspection, it is a voltage check on both sides of the fuse.

As far as the temperature sender, it could be a bad sender unit. Check the sender for power with the key on.

Okay, so as I said the A/C quit blowing cold at the same time the temperature hand dropped to C. I drove the truck 10 miles home the next morning I drove about a mile and the temperature hand went from C to NORM then the AC started cooling again.

I was addressing the temperature gauge first as that will effect the A/C operation.

The PCM ties these systems together I would do a CAN scan toy see what comes up you may have a bad PCM. Here is a video. You can get a CAN scanner from amazon for about $45.00:
