Default Need some A/C help please.

I have currently been having problems with my a/c.

I have already changed the low pressure sensor, and heater control valve.

My situation is a/c blows nice cold then after a good while on the road it just blows regular air, non cold.

I've already put freon as well into the tank.
I have also notice every once in a while when I first turn my truck on then the a/c shortly after I hear like a loud pop/bang noise on the right side of the hood where the a/c components are located (viewing from driver side)

Would there be any way to do a possible test to see if that would be the problem?

Next time the problem happens you need to see if the compressor is running before jumping to a conclusion. If the compressor is running and the liguid line is warm to hot and the suction line is cold, the blend door is an issue.
Use the search function and type in blend door, there are quite a few excellent threads on this issue.

It turns out that the ac clutch was pretty worn out so I ended up taking out the small spacer between the clutch and the magnet.

Thanks for the update, I'll make a note of it.
