When I'm at a red light or in drive through, my AC blows only a little cool air. In fact, sometimes it blows kind of warm. When I'm on road and air blowing across radiator, it blows nice and cool. What's up with that?

What's up with that? Dr. B Sounds to me like it only blows cold when you're driving. Thanks folks I'll be here all week!

Mine has been doing the same thing, I figured with it being +100* heat index it was struggling just like everything else In this heat... I was thinking the same thing. The ole '04 Z-71 ain't what she used to be. Bet those folks driving those 2015 F1-150s and Z-71's are sitting in a fridge at the red lights. Dr. B

Dr. B Well I'm driving a 2008 F-150 and mine's doing the same thing. It did it last summer but it would go from blowing cold to blowing outside temp air. That ended up being a bad coil pack causing it to compensate by dropping power to the compressor. Now it's more like you describe. It fluctuates between cool and cold.

2 Things raise the hood and see if the cooling fan is running at Idle. Some trucks turn the compressor off when the idle get too low. Cleaning the throttle body and disconnecting the battery for a few mins. will allow the ECM to relearn idle.

you could have debris clogged in the fins of the a/c condenser that is mounted in front of the radiator. thats what i ment to say, i figured as dry as its been the cond. coils had a lot of dust and bugs in it

if it has electric fans the auxiliary fan could be not kicking on when at idle, If it has a mechanical fan the fan clutch could need to be replaced. +1

Early in morning and at night when it's cooler outside, the AC works about normal. I will check the fan today. Probably wouldn't hurt to spray the Lowndes county dirt off the engine anyway! Thanks for the advice fellas!

My wife's Toyota did the exact same thing and it turned out to just be low on coolant. Topped it off and haven't had a problem since. that was a couple of years ago I guess.

sounds like it could be the clutch on the compressor.
