A friend of mine has a dodge ram truck and his a/c is not working. Just warm/hot air comes out. I looked under the hood and see that the compressor activates for about a second and then shuts off for about 5 seconds. On and off just like that. I put a similar relay for the a/c clutch relay but that didn't change anything. Is this a low freon thing or something else? Also the lines going into and out of the compressor are warm/hot. No difference in temp between them. Any help would be appreciated. If it's a compressor then I would replace it with a junkyard compressor and get a refill, but first evacuating what's left of the freon in the system by a pro. If it's just low, then I'll get a pro to do the refill. I suspect that if the freon was low, there should be SOME cold air? Thanks in advance.

Steve
The only thing that you told him that made any sense was to add 25 pounds of freon, and that's just stupid, you need to stick to sex advice and stop useing this thread as typing practice.

You could try some of the leak check it may help you locate the leak if it is one. As far as cheap I just spent $1000 on repair of my 02 Jeep A/C, compressor,block valve and some other stuff , thank goodness for extended warranties my cost $250.
First you said it made sense and now you said it was plain stupid, which one is it?? I am giving advice based on my own person experiences and I have the right to my opinion and I gave good advice. We will see when Steven gets his AC fixed whose advice that he took and what the problem was.
I was being sarcastic, I have been in the heating and air conditioning field for many years, and I have worked on many vehicle systems, odds are, on that specific truck, it has a leak, and needs freon, right away you started out by telling him to add 25 pounds of freon? what the h e l l?? you can't get that much in it even if you tried, that alone tells me you know nothing about this field, and you have yet to prove any diffrent. Do you see why I argued your advice? you were talking in circles, just because your dad is a mechanic means nothing, if my dad was a doctor, would you take medical advice from me? why would you?
