First steps

  1. Check that the blower runs at every speed and listen for the compressor clutch.
  2. Look for a slipping or broken belt and for oily spots on the A/C lines.
  3. Note any warning lights and whether the engine is running hot.
  4. Do not keep driving if the engine temperature climbs.

What to tell the provider

The truck make and model, whether air blows but is not cold or does not blow at all, any noise from the compressor, and whether you need roadside service or can drive to a shop.

Why it happens

Heavy truck A/C problems usually come down to low refrigerant from a leak, a failed compressor or clutch, a blocked condenser, a bad blower motor or an electrical fault. Not every shop works on A/C, so ask on the phone. Listings that mention A/C or climate work are marked on this page.
