99 Sierra AC Issue: It'* getting hot down here...
AC works fine. It'* cold and it blows, but after ~10 minutes it just stops being cold (but still blows).
I checked the refrigerant with manifold gauges. It'* good.
I'm stumped. Where do I check from here?
Thanks all.

Found one on the passenger side. I found the actuator that controls Floor/Defrost/Vent etc. That one is moving and working fine. Of course, that'* not what I need. It looks identical to the one you posted from Amazon.
I'll keep looking. The dash is off the truck, so hopefully this will be easier.
Just to be clear, the other two should look or function about the same way and control "barn doors".
The AC doesn't start blowing hot. I just loses its cold.

well you said you checked it with gauges, was that while it was malfunctioning or working? does it do it just sitting there or does it while your driving?

If I turn the truck off for 2 minutes, then turn it back on, I get cold air again.
If I turn the AC off while driving, then turn in on after 2 minutes, I get cold air again.

next i would back probe the plug for the clutch and see if its getting power while it malfunctioning or if something is shutting it down
