Default 2010 1500 AC quit for short period

Has anyone with a 2010 1500 noticed the AC either sounding like it's stalling or shuts off all together? I have dual climate control. At times after shortly starting the truck it would sound as though it was stalling (best description) and then pick back up. It seemed to be tied to the idle dropping a little low. Yesterday after driving (normal) several blocks it actually shut off. After a few seconds it kicked back on.

i have this happen also (infrequently). i haven't figured out exactlty the sequence, but i think it happens about two minutes after placing the truck in gear. Maybe only after remote start?

Mine does this also. It actually sounds like the recirculation door is changing from inside to outside air. It happens randomly

I did have recirculation on when it did it. It just started warming up here and I have started to use the recirculation. It never actually quit on me without the recirc on. It did have the stall though.

May I make a suggestion about the recirc. Don;t use it, roll all the windows down put on the air and let it run not on recirc till it cools down it will take longer but you won't get that musty smell in your air at a later date.

I usually don't run it long. Just long enough to get it cooled down. Waiting on remote start. It has been ordered for 1 1/2 months now.
