Re charged my system 2 weeks ago and as started blowing decent when truxk driving. When at idle not so much. Driving home and ac stopped blowing cold air then smoke started coming from passenger side of engine bay when i noticed i turned ac off smoke stopped and. Truck engine never overheated or even ran rough. Was wondering if possible to maybe lube compressor or maybe figure out if any other option besides replace compressor please help. I have decent mechanic history never anything with a.c systems though

Check if clutch is engaging, it could be slipping (and smoking)

If you added Freon, then there was a Freon leak and probably an oil leak. If it occurred at the compressor, the compressor may be low on oil and seizing up.

So after getting home I turned truck on and tool a look at compressor and it is deff. Siezed up. Do you think I can get away with lubing it up or do I have to replace compressor?  Whats Your take ? Just trying to possible save a buck. And thanks for response

Replace it, then do a full recharge using a proper AC machine or the proper method so the compressor and other parts live a long life.

Ok guys I'm sorry I was wrong so got under truck and got to messing with compressor. I took the belt off to see if more clear. Well the clutch in front of com0ressor pulley wheel super loose and making lots of noise thw whole pulley turns just fine. But the clutch rattles and shakes. What you guys think just a clutch issue or whole compressor

Tough call from online,you mentioned smoke earlier,to me,that's belt slipping,high resistance,so if the clutch stuck on,no big deal, compressor runs,but is the failure internal? compressor seizing?
