2001 f350 A/C Problems

I have a 2001 f350 7.3, and the A/C is cold when you first start it up but after about 15 or 20 miles of driving it will start to gradually get warmer to the point it isn't blowing cold at all, but when i stop and accelerate it cools off again for a few minutes and the cycle starts over. Has anyone ever run into this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Kinda sounds like you are losing vacuum to the water valve, or your water shut off valve is not closing completely. If you can try pinching off heater hoses and see if it stays cold, if it does then either valve is faulty or your losing vacuum to valve or entire vacuum controlled componants
