A/c not blowing cold

Just as the title says the ac on my truck is not blowing cold like it used to, it has enough air flow but it's just not cold, anyone run into somthing similar ?

yes... The last time for me, a reboot of the computer using forscan fixed it - but I also couldn't get the air to change where it came out of, it was stuck on "defrost".

I never had to delve that far into my 6.7, but other causes I've dealt with on AC system in vehicles in general are low on freon, bad pressure switch, bad compressor, bad compressor clutch, loose/chaffed wiring, blown fuse that controlled AC compressor.

You should have a signature so we know what year,etc you have.. but it's common on these trucks to have the AC evaporator go.. $1200 job..dash has to come out..

I just had my evap. replaced one month ago, thank goodness for ESP complete job including all supplies cost Ford $2200.00
Talked to the tech and he showed me a stack of about 15 or so evaps. piled up in a corner says its a pretty common problem, does at least 1 every week or two. He said pulling the dash is easy, hardest part of the job is removing the front seat and center console.

So glad that wasn't my problem with my 2011 as I was out of warranty when mine stopped blowing cold.
