Air not blowing from AC
The AC fan sounds like it is blowing alright but cold air is not blowing out of vent at the speed that it should. The air seems to slowly "filter" out with little blowing force no matter what the fan speed is on. But the air is cold.
Any suggestions?

The place where the air comes out of does not change unless I change it.
When the AC is on high(fan speed) it will blow cold air fine. After a while (anywhere from 2-20 minutes) cold air continues to come out but at a much lower force while the fan speed sounds and feels like it has not changed.

OK, looks like the first step is rebooting the climate control module.
If you go here:http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=332,
this will take you to the online service manual. Download the PDF,
and on page 2, it walks you through the module reboot.
After that, we're talking about whipping out the VOM and doing
some electrical sleuthing, so hopefully the reboot will do the deed.
And, yes, those service manuals are for a 2005 - if you have the
2008 manual, you'll certainly want to use that instead.

In the online 2005 manual, the reboot procedure is on page 412-00-2
(Group 4 - Electrical, Section 12 - Climate Control, page 2)
I guess I was assuming the 2008 would have the same procedure as
the 2005, but if not, then if you walk through that section in your
service manual, you want to do the general diagnostics, and then if
that looks good, the section under "Incorrect/erratic direction of airflow
from outlets" - or any other section that you think sounds more like
your problem than that one.
