Another A/C question...

I have learned a lot of stuff about my truck since I've been on this part of the forum, but A/C is something I've never messed with so I need your help.

My A/C seems to work just fine except for the fact that it doesn't get cold. It gets cool but def. not cold. Could this be something as simpe as a charge or is it deeper than that?

EDIT: o/t but my post count matches the cubic inches of my engine!

Do a search for "clutch air gap"... probably all you need to do is remove some shims from the compressor clutch.
