    Is this common on these older trucks. I hardly ever run my a/c but was waiting on the rain to clear up and went to turn ac and noticed that it wasn't getting cold. As i was heading home i tried it again and while i was moving the ac was cold like it normally is. Do i have a potential problem occuring or is this normal.

    Could be a couple things, ranging from the A/C charge is low, or the condenser is clogged with shi*t, or the A/C idle up valve is turned off and the A/C compressor wont run at idle.
