I've pretty much decided that Japanese brands are the ONLY good option for passenger cars. it's unfortunate. Toyota, Nissan, Honds, & Kia blow the American brands away when it comes to quality/dependability of a passenger car.

Sorry to hear. I'm still loving mine at 30k except for the fuel pump and module hiccup that I had to pay for because of the Whipple. But I wouldn't be without the blower for any damn reason now. I have yet to use my 100k warranty but I've kept it for issues like you've described. Good luck.

Swapped out the compressor, and this is what I found inside of the old one.

First year doesn't matter in these trucks. My company buys them and even 2015 and 2016 models are having AC problems, but that's the least of my worries as a 2014 owner. Our trucks have also had starter failures, torque converter failures that have taken the whole transmissions with them, vacuum pump failures that can potentially take the brake boosters with them, and all within 100k miles.

I love my truck and it hurts, but I think I'm going to be letting her go. I'm only at just under 35k, but I know that with every mile, I get closer to some expensive repairs.

I'm at 152k miles now, and the AC stuff has been my only real issue. It's been treated like a 2500 its whole life as well.
