    of course when it's 100 degrees outside my AC wants to go out. ! But whatever, anyways I am trying to figure out why it went out.
    It all started 3 weeks ago when my AC started to stop blowing cold air so I knew it had to be recharged, but just yesterday it completely stopped throwing air out so now I'm curious about why it completely stopped.
    Is it because the refrigerant is very low or could it be something else ??

    The fans not working/blowing air at all, or just warm air?
    It could be a number of things from bad compressor to a slipping belt, no refrigerant or a blown fuse.

    Well when I'm inside the truck and I turn it on, I can literally hear everything go on but there's no air coming out of the vents. But just 2-3 weeks ago the air was cold then it'll get warm after driving for about 30'mins and then yesterday it just completely stopped throwing air out

    One time my blower motor sucked a bunch of the insulation from the underside of the hood. I could hear it running but no air would come out because all of the fan blades were blocked off from the insulation. Is it only when its on AC? If you put it to hot will air come out?

    All speeds on the blower failed?

    I'd start by checking the blower and making sure it works like it did previously.

    Getting back to when it would be cold then go warm, did it blow 'smoke' (actually a moisture cloud) out the vents right before going warm?

    Did a 30 minute stop then restart take it back to being cold?

    If so, that could just be the evap face sensor failed, allowing the evap to freeze over. It would be warm because air can't blow threw a block of ice.

    You fixed the blower running problem. Maybe. Be very sure that terminal is not loose due to being overheated/burnt. Common issue.

    And you still have a 'getting warm' problem don't you? Keep in mind the conditions and cure I suggested above.
