my truck's A/C blows hot when I stop or at an idle.
when I drive it blows cool,, the faster I drive the colder it gets.
 
any advice, before I run off and get charged to have it looked at. 4951

@KTownTexican:
 
Heater core or thermostat ...either is a fairly simple fix. 4951

Do you have seperate fan for the condenser? you may want to check that by running the engine and turn on the ac and the condenser fan should kick in within a min. If it does not turn on replace condenser fan. let us know... 4951

I have replaced the heater core in the past,, ,but I was going to Lafayette this weekend, when the ac started acting up. I drove to Tennessee a few weeks ago,,, no problems. 
 
NO, the fan is not turning on,, I just had that replaced about 3 years ago.

@KTownTexican: ok fan not working replace 5.oo relay and if that doesn't run then replace the a/c fan. Check the place were you got the fan it may still be under warranty...

a/c blower went out on my bronco awhile ago.  Caught on fire.  I would have it checked pretty quick.  Nothing sucks like having to hang your head out the window to see how to get down the road.  lolKingwood Service Center on WLH and Northpark, between Sonic and Shell are great.  Fair and they are very reasonably priced.
 
@Fallon:  I second that referral.  I've been using KW Svc Center for years and trust them implicitly.  Dan & Derrick are the owners and will do you right!  28-360-7323.

@Sniper12: I am going to go to the store and replace the fuse, and the relay first,,  then see what else. Before I take it to the shop...
 
I agree The guys at the Shell service station are good. I used to be cautious about that place,, then tried them. They cost, but not as much as others,, and they are friendly and willing to help. Not sure if I want spend a lot of money on something I can do my self. 4951
