Default A/C out

My air went out on my ram I got the A/C charged and then about 2 days later it stopped working. It blows barley cold but blows enough where I'm not dying of heat stroke. Can any tell me the problem??

More than likely it has leak and leaked out too much r134 to blow cold. Get some r134 with some dye in it. Put it in and see where the leak is. Then you'll know what needs to be fixed.

It sounds a lot like what I'm getting fixed tomorrow.. Clutch in my compressor is toast, requires replacement.

Try to avoid remans if you can.. I've gone down that road and the reman didn't last more than 3 weeks last summer... mind you the last one didn't last very long either...

Who recharged it? Take it back and tell them it quit working and to fix it or find the leak.

Ya It blows enough to where I'm not dying in my truck but its not cold. But not hot either its hard to explain. I just dot know. Hopefully it's not a lot of money to eat it fixed.

Ok, that opens up yet another possibility. Just to the passenger side of the trans tunnel, on the bottom of the heater box, is a little electric doodad (technical term) that controls the blend door. (blend door determines if you get cold air, or warm air.) The coupler on that likes to fail, so the door doesn't move properly. Check out the install instructions from heatertreater.net, you can pull the little motor, and check and see if that isn't at least part of the problem.
