AC suddenly quit.
We took a 250 mi round trip yesterday and the AC was working fine. Took a short trip today and no AC on the way home.
I checked the AC clutch fuse and it looks fine,but changed it anyway with no results. My question is this:
In the manual it says fuse #23 is for Climate Control, deisel engine only. Is this for the heater/AC fan/blower? The fan works fine, just no cold air.

Do you have the electronic climate control or the manual *****? Wouldn't hurt to check fuse #23 if it's in there. My Lariat doesn't have the automatic/electronic climate control. But I don't remember if it was an option for the Lariat or if it was only the KR that year. Do you have all the fan speeds or only high & off?

I think I ll just bring it in and have it checked. Even if I do figger out what the problem is, I do not have the ability to repair it.
Thanks for y'alls help,eh?

I had the same issue last summer, ended up having the entire system replaced under warranty. Dealer claimed system was compromised and full of grit and dirt. $1500 job and I paid $220 out of pocket.

But I think your on the right path, take it to someone that has all the tools/knowledge to handle a/c systems.

FYI on potential problem with AC hose
Brought truck in today for AC repair. Found out that the hose in the pic that runs beside the radiator(underneath the coolant filter) had a hole in it from rubbing against the radiator shroud. He hooked up the machine and found out real fast about the hole. He put a repair "link" on the hose that you can see in the pic, let the system "de-atmosphere" for 40 minutes, and recharged.
Wow! What a difference recharging makes! It gets cold FAST compared to before the hose repair.
total cost: $291
Coolness factor: priceless!
Check your hoses soon!
