Hey old Truck, as for the A/C it could of been a Thermal protector. If you were getting a voltage drop it could of overheated the compressor and kicked out then after cooling off it will reset itself. I had this happen to mine till I put in a 30 am...
Hey ole trucker, I see you did get some snow over Christmas, but I hope you don't get the bitter cold like we get here. The snow can be delt with, but when its cold it's cold.
