    Windshield Tint Advisory

    Speaking of "tinting", does anyone know the actual percentage of the rear doors window tint? A real measurement done with an electronic device, not just some guy that looks at it and says it's 20% or whatever.

    Locking key fob in truck?

    I did, I have, I do. It works for me. I do use some thick foil from Sam's club.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Looking at my V8 the transmission heater actually is fed by two hoses tapping into the lower radiator hose.

    Air conditioning Hack

    The new gen V8s have that as well, it leaves the water pump from a different port. Seems the V6s just tapped into the heater hose.

    Air conditioning performance

    You are correct, the clamps are only meant to hold back the fluid for a short time, while a mechanic works on whatever they needed to remove.

    Air conditioning performance

    Way different than a door not staying closed. Let's say you like your truck to be louder, so you put on, or take off a muffler. This is not a safety thing. Many thousands of people are absolutely fine with the way the AC cools. Feeling cool is subjective and very personal. This can be a big deal...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I have heard Tales of people with really great dealers, that have decided to reprogram the blend doors with some success, but have not seen temperature numbers. People have just said it feels better. If you have time and the inclination for a possible run at it, you may be able convince your...

    N0GL Software Update Thread

    Updated today in Kansas City. Still no online search, but all seems to work well. Dido on the screen not coming on when you grab the door handle, and I thought my puddle lights and driving light used to come on when approaching the truck, they do when I grab the handle. Will have to get time...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I see. I've seen some guys post up some interesting ideas here, but with a separate controls. For me, these trucks have such a large cabin, and with the black interior, I can just use my fan speed to control the cabin temp. If that makes sense. My family usually complains about being too cold in...

    Air conditioning Hack

    It was probably a bad heater control valve in your Crown Vic. This deal of having blend doors is new. Used to be one door, let in fresh air or not. We have no heater control valves in these trucks. So we are slaves to the absolute Precision of our blend doors operation. I wonder if the Clasic...

    Air conditioning Hack

    A big ship takes a long time to turn. I don't know anything really, but believe they won't change anything till the next generation of Ram. If you don't own one yet, go check one out. If you really like-love the truck, and the Ac is the one single thing holding you back from buying it, the...

    Oil Change intervals - First 5

    If they owe you 5 oil changes or however many, they typically don't care when you cash them in.

    Anyone have a Sport Hood ? Appearance only?

    If you open your hood after washing, for 15 min or so, (while your wiping down or whatever) the water and soap will drain out.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Here is a pic of the end result. If this makes sense to you, you can do it. MAKE SURE YOUR TRUCK ENGINE IS COLD AND NOT RUNNING! You'll want to install the valve to the outlet port of your water pump going to the heater core. Make sure that hose is going to the heater core and not the...

    Air conditioning Hack

    Personally, I close my valve all the way. I want zero hot water going to my heater core. I look outside and I sweat. Some have a theory about stagnant water being in the heater core. I've been driving big rigs and heavy equipment for decades, they all have hot water shut off valves. You shut...
