Default 08 Ram 1500 AC/Overheating Issue

When driving my truck it heats up to around 113 degrees according to my bullydog. It lasts for a couple seconds then it goes back down to about 93/94 degrees for the rest of the drive. It only goes up to the 113 once then it never gets that hot again for the rest of the drive. If I let the truck completely cool off and start driving again it’s gets hot again then back to normal.

Also my ac seems to blow cold air for about 10 mins then it blows no air at all. When I turn the heat to high after it stops blowing it won’t blow heat either. After about 30 seconds of the heat being on it starts to blow hot air. After the hot air starts blowing I switch back to Ac and the cycle happens again.

The truck does lose coolant slowly over time.
Hopefully someone on here knows what is wrong.
Thank you all in advance!!

Sounds like thermostat is a little slow to open for your engine temp.
As far as your a/c sounds like a blend door malfunction or an actuator
