A/C question

I have a 2001 F250 7.3 liter diesel. My a/c blows this luke warm air after driving for a little while then will switch to cold. When it blows cold its really cold.

Anyone have any suggestions?

It starts blowing warm after about 10 mins. 90's to 100's during the summer. I was reading more post on the forum and I found one with the same problem. It says check the air gap and the clutch switch I think. I guess I will try those suggestions.

Check the air gap first if its set correctly then you move on to the pressure switch.

Exact symptoms for air gap.

For some things I've written on this, see:
