    My AC in my 2019 seems to blow super cold for about 10 seconds, then warm up a bit for about 10 seconds and repeats... It doesn't get hot, but it's a noticeable drop in temp. I hit a deer in my Tundra 2 years ago and they replaced my ac condenser because it got a bit dinged up. Ive never noticed this issue before till now - but I probably wasnt paying attention. I just happened to be holding my hand to the vents to cool off and noticed it recently. Anything I can check myself? I don't have many options in my area. Thanks for any advice and help!

    Could be low on refrigerant. Compressor might be kicking on and off. Does this behavior change any if you are driving (engine is above idle speed) and just idling?

    Other thought would be if it happens only or predominantly while idling, your fan is not pulling sufficient air through the condenser so the compressor is kicking off for high pressure.

    Thanks for the suggestions! It does it no matter what im doing - Stopped or driving. Would one of those Ac Pro 1234yf recharge kits work to test and possibly top off if low? Or should I take it to the dealer?
