Stupid A/C!

[AMMO_HOOAH]

Ok first off someone will eventually tell me to use the search feature, and I have. I can't seem to find solutions to my problem, and yes I read. That being said I absolutly could have missed the one post I needed, so feel free to drop in a like to the fix. anyway, last year I lost all cold air for the truck. Condensor rusted out, got that replased. Then the air kept cutting in and out completly random. Replaced four relays (same one) finally got a new blower motor, voila, no more burnt relays. NOW, the AC seems to be hotter then out side, there is no decernable differance between AC and MAX AC (which there used to be), and when it's on MAX above 30 MPH the vents shut off, and it starts comming out of the defrost ports?!?!? Needless to say this is very stupid, and annoying. I'm fairly mechanical, but have never messed with vacume lines, or blend doors, or anything that deep under the dash. Any help (less a trip to the dealer) is very much appreciated.

Sounds like a vacume problem/blend door issue, even if you haven't messed with them, things happen. Often times the Vacume Resivior cracks and causes a vaccume leak. Usually the problems will be more pronounced under load (accellerating, Driving up a hill, etc.) but if its a bad enough leak, it will give you problems all the time.

it wasn't bad language it was stars j/k I wont in the future. Also any ideas where I should start my search you mentioned the compressor, so I'm assuming that's where. I've been wrong before so feel free to correct me. Thanks for the help, and keep up the sugestions I'm up for almost anything (NOT THAT YOU PERVERT)

It could be......

Well I'm not completly sure, but I think it's the compressor. I say that because yesterday while i was on my way to work I started to smell hot brakes or burning clutch. When I stopped and popped the hood the compressor wasn't catching all the way and the inner hub was glowing red, so I figured I'd better shut off the ac for a while. I'm not completly sure, but I figure that was probably the problem.

Sounds like you need a new compressor and a complete recharge to me....
