    Air conditioning Hack

    It's embarrassing when I tell friends how posh my $63k Ram is, but then have to deflect laughter when I show them a $8 Harbor Freight clamp set has to rectify a known air conditioning issue that Ram doesn't have a remedy for - even though they acknowledged my system was problematic while it was...

    I'm not trading/purchasing another. The ball's in Ram's court.

    Air conditioning performance

    Since my dealer recently had my Limited in for over a week with no change in performance afterward, and since I won't be able to replicate the temp. issue until next summer due to PA's change of seasons, my Ram case was closed. Hopefully, they'll step up and recall the problem or buyback...

    Like another member mentioned, move the clamp every so often to maintain the hose's integrity.

    ...and after 10 months and 9700 miles of ownership, today was the first time I had condensation dripping on my path into the driveway and a puddle honestly appeared under where I parked it.

    Air conditioning performance

    So, I made a trip to Harbor Freight today and installed one of these pinch clamps. Guess what? After a 3-4 mile test drive, the A/C was considerably colder. The only 2 things that still disappoint me is that FCA hasn't come up with a fix for this common Ram issue and that I didn't have the...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I'm holding out hope that FCA steps up to the plate before I cut a heater hose and install a remedy from the 1940s on a $63k truck.

    Air conditioning performance

    Here's my story: My A/C was extremely warm during hot/humid days, and Ram opened a case. When I took my Ram in for the airbag recall, I also wanted them to review A/C performance. After testing, they agreed there was an issue and ended up keeping the truck for a week. Upon receiving a call...

    It's funny (and sad) that there are so many documented A/C problems, but FCA has skirted any responsibility in rectifying the issue. With autumn and cooler temps on the horizon for most of the US, I assume they're hoping the issue will subside. Nonsense.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Although I like the hack idea for a 5-10 year old vehicle that's out of warranty, I don't appreciate having to do a personal modification on a $60k+ truck where the manufacturer isn't willing to come up with a suitable repair knowing there are that many owners with an a/c issue. Nonsense.

    Don't think so. The warmer it is, the worse mine performs.

    Air conditioning performance

    In 85+ degree temps, my A/C feels like having the vents blowing in my '87 Cavalier that had no A/C. Nonsense.

    ....and we need to install some type of aftermarket part to hack into a $60k+ A/C system to have it function properly? Nonsense.

    Sad thing is, I had a '15 that iced the interior, but my new '19 is not much better than having outside vents on.

    That's nice, but on a new truck, a hack shouldn't need to be the answer.

    Air conditioning performance

    So, I've been relatively overall displeased with A/C performance in my limited; however, with recent temperatures of 85+, the A/C feels no different than having the outside vents turned on. If the A/C is blowing 60 degrees at 85 -90 outside temperatures, I wouldn't be surprised. Sad thing is...
