AC periodically won't go cold

[Undecided]

Looking for advice before I take it to the dealer.

2021, ~60k miles

This last month or so, my AC has randomly decided to not blow cold. It moves air fine. It's almost like the condenser won't kick on.
I've tried all sorts of button combos: auto on/off, manual control, hot to cold, circulate on or off, high fan speed, low fan speed, Max A/C, system on/off, truck on/off.

Sometimes it works for a few days without issues, sometimes it goes days never going cold for me.
Sometimes it kicks cold before I get out of my drive, some days it takes 20min to kick to cold.

Once it does start blowing cold, it stays normal cold.

any ideas on what to check?
Thanks

Start by having the system tested to ensure its not low on refrigerant. If its low, the compressor should not kick on. Unless your local auto has a 1234yf machine, it will have to go to the dealer

Above is the best bet, but I recall a tsb for the hvac system on early gladiators that was a firmware update ... there was at least 1 thread on it here ... can't remember the details but it would be worth a look

Did some searching and found a TSB that might apply to you.
