    Was the A/C not working before you replaced the condenser fan?
    Was the fan replaced to try fixing the A/C?
    Do you know if the system is fully charged?

    If the system is fully charged, you'll need a way to fault-trace it electrically.
    Do you have access to any service manuals for your truck yet? Particularly the electrical diagrams or schematics and a quality DVOM will be needed, also.

    Turn the A/C on. If the compressor runs and the receiver/dryer, for instance, chills down, the blend door actuator may be the problem. If you have Electronic Air Temperature Controls (EATC), run the diagnostics on the system. See if any codes come up. If only "soft" codes are recorded, clear them; afterwards, start the truck and try the A/C again.

    If the compressor runs and the receiver/dryer doesn't cool down, attach a manifold gauge set and check the static pressure. Afterwards, check the high and low pressures, when the engine is running. That should give you a good idea of where things stand and what steps, if any, should be taken.
