A/C Compressor Done

I think I need to hide from Mr. Murphy. Just bought an 06' 2500 Mega Cab last week. Drove the truck home 590 miles from Texas ran like a champ, truck has 55k and was owned and cared for by the previous owner. Been driving the truck to work all week and yesterday the A/C started blowing hot air. Took it in to a friends shop to have the freon levels checked, fully charged, compressor gone.

Anyone else have this kind of costly repair on what I considered a "new" truck. Wife is now really using the I told you so and is convinced I bought a lemon. I think it was just bad luck and was wondering if anyone else has had compressors go out.

Thanks....
