AC Help please

Any one experience anything like that and figured it out. It is getting hot here in Louisiana and the truck blows fairly cold traveling slow at low RPMs, but at I speed up or put any strain on the engine it blows less cold. It's a 2001 f250 v10.

Its posable the clutch is wearing out and under load its slipping. I dont know if your truck does it because of age but i know alot of vehicles will cut out the ac compressor at a certain rpm to prevent slippage and clutch damage. And a few underpowered vehicles will cut it to add more power to pass with.
