My truck sat over this past weekend and when i fired it up this afternoon i noticed it took a couple minutes to start blowing cold air. is this normal? do these trucks have some sort of startup delay to prevent damage to the a/c compressor?

 

Mine does the same thing.When I get ready to leave from work in the afternoon it blows hot air until I finally start driving it.

 

This happens to me most of the time as well.

I cannot complain about the air after this initial issue. Heck, the fiancee has to use a blanket.

Possible it could just be a flash issue that keeps the compressor off for 30-60 seconds after initial start up. Of course, I could be totally off.

 

Yes, it's normal for a little delay for the compressor on startups.

 

It's also normal for it to have to cool down the vent ducts before you really feel it. If there is NO air coming out, and you are using the EATC to do the deed, you might want to get it looked at.
