Did pulltab ever determine what caused your compressor to die? 99.9% of the time when a compressor burns out it leaves debris in other parts of the system. At the very least the system should've been flushed, suction accumulator/drier replaced, liquid line/orifice tube replaced, and oil charge adjusted. Jake could be on to something when he mentioned the fans, I'd pop the hood and check before you buy a new fan relay. The blend door could be a possibilty, but it's electrically actuated in your jeep and I feel like you notice it sooner if it was stuck in full heat.
With all that said, sounds like a refrigerant pressure problem. You'll need to put a manifold gauge set on there to find out though.

Only to add that the condenser is often replaced in a compressor failure situation as it is hard or impossible to flush all debris out.

. I'll get someone with more experience and tools to check pressure. The one thing I do know is that I'm not going to purchase a new ac system if I can help it. Thanks to everyone for your help .

I don't remember a compression problem. The engine was swapped out last year and the AC was not recharged. SDC mentioned a fan shroud in a PM to me and I don't have one. I've been reading almost all day and now I am totally . I'll get someone with more experience and tools to check pressure. The one thing I do know is that I'm not going to purchase a new ac system if I can help it. Thanks to everyone for your help .
