Strange No Start
I was driving today and the A/C quit blowing cold. I pulled into make a 10 minute stop came back out and truck wouldn't crank. Acted like batteries were dead and I smelt belt at one point. I suspect A/C compressor had seized since I have heard that causes this problem. I let truck sit for about 20 mins and it cranked up. FICM good, new batteries, only thing I know needs to be done is oil cooler b/c I'm at 30 degrees difference. I don't drive the truck more than 20 miles at a time and never really get over 25 degrees difference. I had to take hour long trip today so I ran the A/C the entire time. I wonder how letting the truck cool off for a while allowed it to crank. I continued my trip. Parked the truck for an hour then went and cranked it up. Weird? After I suspected the A/C I cut it off. Any thoughts? Before I assume it is the compressor I thought about putting gauges on A/C and also removing belt and see how fast it turns over. Wanted to get your guys opinion before I start busting knuckles.....

So I guess I'm looking a having to pull compressor. If I'm going that far where I will need to evac and refill. I guess it's new compressor, receiver/dryer, orifice tube, flush lines, and condenser. This seems to never end.

Since the truck has 188k and I really don't trust just doing compressor without doing accumulator, orifice tube, and condensor. Does anyone think I could have something else going on. Since I bought it has long cranks but not slow turn over.
