    This trip I've had AC not blow as cold as it used to. It would literally be freezing cold in cab and I'd even turn it down from 4to 3rd setting.
    Now on full blast it's barely cool and idk what it could be? Stuck expansion valve?

    With the truck running and a/c on check to see if the clutch on the front of the a/c compressor is turning. If so, then you likely have a leak and need to connect a set of gauges to read the pressures. If the clutch is not turning then the system is low or out of refrigerant or there is an electrical problem.

    Most common cause is low freon.
