^pretty much this, pending any new info I would say your compressor is shot.
For the 3.0 the variable displacement compressors came in with the facelift.
With these compressors the clutch can engage but have no compression. No compression = no pressure, no fan.
This throws a lot of people off (including me). I had the same problem, but intermittent.
I replaced my compressor and that solved it for me.
