Default 2008 Suburban AC

The cars AC stopped blowing cold air a few weeks ago and my first thought was it being the Freon and it when I put the meter up it had a good amount, I filled the car up and still no cold air blowing any ideas?

Is it blowing at all? If so, is it blowing hot?

Intermittent? If you shut it off, does it then blow ac air?

It stays on the coldest setting and hasn’t blown cold in weeks, I leave it off for now. The Auto setting also does not help.

What i am getting at, it might be the blend door actuator, blowing ambient air.

Would the best idea be to replace it.

My experience with a blend door actuator is, shutoff the truck, restart it, and it works for awhile,
