rengnath, that's pretty much what I was thinking. I wish I could do the exact thing u did, but I have a bull bar w/ driving lights. That's y I figure I could do w/out the fogs. The fogs have the perfect location for air to be pushed into the engine compartment. Thanx guys. If I rig something up I will be sure to post pics.

My 2005 Dakota A/C started to run for about 8 seconds then shuts down. Then I have shut it completely off for about a minute. Then I turn it on and it runs for 8 seconds then shuts dow. Then I have the a/c off again for a minute then the cycle starts over. What is the mostly likely the problem.

I would have to agree with deer hunter. start with the basics. make sure it has a good charge and check the connections at the compressor.
