I cant even figure out the part number for rear shocks on my 21 5.7 Rebel with air springs...anyone??

I might consider that, But I want to give the dealer/process a chance to work first. Its not fair to say they wont fix it when in fact they haven't said they wont.....officially....

Soooo...I called my dealer today. Talked to a very nice service adviser, one that actually took a few minutes and listened. basically it went like this: "If we cant replicate the issue, FCA wont approve the repair." I was like "its 32 outside, of course its going to blow cold." He was like...

no screws. Pretty sure they are glued on..

I don't think it matters. Whether the blend door seals well or not, the chamber housing the heater core is still 210 degrees and the heat has to bleed over to the cooling side. Yes this sucks, but in Tucson this week it was 105 and I blew 41 degrees with the shut off valve. Trust me, if there...

Not sure about this.....

The YouTube link didn't work. I don't think its up yet.....
