Default Another ac problem

Ok so I have a 1998 jeep xj 4.0 and my jeeps ac works amazing for about 30 minuets then gets warm and the compressor stops spinning and gets warm if I turn the ac off for 10 min it comes back cold so I added some 134a and it made it better should I add more or get another compressor? Thanks for the help

was having the exact same problem yesterday, they change something in the fan clutch it cost me 50$ here in Dubai.
easy fast fix don't worry he put screw driver on the AC compressor pulley and boom it works again then he knew its something in the clutch
In my opinion your compressor is fine and well work for loner time (that what he told me) just go to a good electric man and he well do it .

Probably for the best. AC system is hard to DIY.
