did you check freon amount in system? If there is not enough or the cycling switch is bad it will be warm.

there is now freeon in the system, i recovered it to replace oring and refill with new freeon, i still have no power to the clutch, to refill. does any one have wiring diagram for the ac system for this truck? or could the thermostatic switch be bad?

If you have power at one side of the cycling switch when the a/c is on and the compressor comes on when you jump it, the switch is bad.
