    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    If I were to use your logic, I'd be driving around with a hole in my windshield and flattened tires. Okay, we are all on the same team here. We all have different levels of enthusiasm, or passion. You being willing to dig into your dash, definitely shows your level is higher than most. Let us...

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    This is a means to an end, not messing with non related equipment. I was the first here to cut the coolant flow, I did not do this to show FCA the error of their ways. I wanted colder air, and I got it. It's just that simple. If this is not a design flaw, so be it. Do you go over to the threads...

    Noise under bed sounds like something running for 2 seconds

    I hear it too if I'm fooling around a bit in the garage after I park. It's not the parking brake, I use mine quite often and this is a different sound. If it's the fuel pump, or the emissions, don't know. My 16 Tacoma did it as well.

    Air conditioning Hack

    That is correct, very simple and works great. 3 weeks in and no problems, just nice cold air conditioning.

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    If it doesn't come with vent temperatures, it never happened. All kidding aside, with "feeling cool" or "blowing cold" being subjective to each individual, we wander what temps you consider as "blows cold"?

    Air conditioning Hack

    "Thermal expansion", I believe you are over thinking this. For years autos have had a heater control valve, you move a lever or switch on the dash and the valve opens and closes, cutting off hot coolant flow or letting more hot coolant in. The new computerized systems are not changing the...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I have had no problems with zero flow. Running two weeks this way. No freeze up, and no added pressure problems. This is my experience, yours may vary.

    RAM AC poor performance TWITTER/FACEBOOK

    Really thinking it's an issue across the board, some are just more sensitive than others to the air conditioning performance. 48-52 degrees may seem "fine" to some. I may be wrong, but most that have said their air conditioning is fine, have not given a temperature test, and don't need to...

    Air conditioning Hack

    Think of it as if you drilled a hole in the water pump so you could take some hot coolant and use it for something else. Now what happens if you cover up that hole? The coolant continues the path of least resistance. To the radiator, the engine, the transmission cooler.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Really can't speak to all the new fangeld gadgets to help transmission warm up, or those weird little hoses going down to some kind of black filter. The two hoses we are concerned with are the "heater hoses" on my truck, they run from water pump to heater core "behind the fire wall" and back to...

    Air conditioning Hack

    Correct, those two hose we are dealing with only run to the heater core and back to the water pump. FOR SURE!!
