I think the clutch went out on my moms truck. The ac is still cold but will not blow. Acually I dont know what it is, how did you know your clutch is out?

If the clutch fails on the ac compressor, the air will not be cold.

I'm going to have to agree, obviously the clutch is still doing it's job. It is more than likely, but not necessarily so, that the blower motor resistor is bad.
