Truck listed above is a 2500. It is having issues with the A/C getting cold. The heater works amazing in it so it’s nice in the winter but when I turn it for the A/C it seems like it’s just blowing the outside air temperature which seems to end up with the inside of the truck being hotter than it is outside. Was just wondering if I could basically get a checklist of stuff to check starting from easiest to hardest so I can narrow it down. It’s been a couple years since the A/C went out and I’ve just dealt with it but I don’t know if I can go another summer with this thing blowing hot air when it’s 105 out. Thanks in advance.

First, when you turn the AC on does the compressor engage?

Here are some guides to get you rolling:
