    A/C performance poll

    You might be losing it if you're a half ton pickup forum enthusiast and you think others just jumped off the turnip truck. Some on here owned pickups, drove pickups, were pickup forums members/enthusiasts, did design work for auto manufacturers back when some of you were still in diapers. I...

    A/C performance poll

    If only life were that simple we would have one great a/c system that satisfies the demands of any vehicle. The truth is cabin size, window surface area, pano roof minus roof insulation, etc all play a large roll in vehicle a/c performance as does the offsetting a/c system design effort...

    A/C performance poll

    Yep, bigger cabin, window surface, ginormous pano roof, dark interior colors but FCA's hvac gen 5 design and competent computer modeling should take that all into consideration. And even then, road tests should have ferreted out and corrected potential shortcomings early on. I bet FCA's hvac...

    A/C performance poll

    I try to keep an eye on 3rd gen ecodiesel forums but no topics on a/c performance just yet. I can't imagine it performs any better but I guess anything is possible with FCA.

    Realtruck.com probs; stay away!

    Credit card company support for these types of actions has declined over the years. They use to carry a big stick and credit the charge back but now they tend to give vendors the benefit of the doubt and tell the buyer "we opened an investigation." It makes some business sense since the vendor...

    26 Gallon to 33 Gallon Fuel/Gas tank

    That monster is for the 2500/3500. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see an option for the 1500 Gen 5.

    If you haven't already got one you better jump in there before the sweet heart deals are gone. Use the savings code and get some! Fortunately you won't need to use it on your nondescript adequately performing a/c system. :)

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    So far facts haven't gotten in the way of your confused views but I'll try again. Warranty work is almost always less profitable for a dealership versus non warranty work. One dealership makes money on the sale of the extended warranty. You do the math. Most dealerships are privately owned...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    It's good to discuss those devil in the details for those that are considering an extended warranty. I always avoid extended warranties but more recently have been purchasing them for today's more complicated vehicles. However I always avoided 3rd party extended warranties. Having said that...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    You might be better off reading the contract and spending less time playing with fonts. Here's a sample contract straight from Zeigler's website and the contract identifies the dealer that sold the extended warranty plan. Go figure...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    I'm all for a good discount but we need to make sure we know what we're talking about. You can request extended warranty service from a secondary dealer but that dealer decides if they want to perform the work under the plan. As the contract states: "To obtain service under this Plan, you...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    The money spent and official paper in hand does nothing if your local dealer refuses to honor the discounted extended warranty. I've read some dealers even ask where you purchased the warranty. The dealer makes the final call after all. I've printed out a Zeigler quote and plan to go to 2 local...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    Even Chrysler's online extended warranty website requies the VIN upfront. Of course the VIN identifies and distinguishes the vehicle just like a social security # would a US citizen, resident, etc. The VIN is locked to the purchased extended warranty plan upon purchase after providing VIN and...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    What makes me a bit nervous is how Zeigler doesn't use a VIN to get a better idea of the cost to insure. Some vehicle manufacturers want to know the vehicle trim and options before giving a quote.

    Air conditioning performance

    Yes, no sense in providing details when you can rack up a bunch of hand waving posts about an issue you aren't having.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Yes, my leaking began after I opened the valve this spring after 9 months of use. I was using this style: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CNJ66E This valve has better specs and is reportedly more durable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MA9DQBE/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_JO-KEb5S68TJ0

    Yep... Another Air Conditioning Post - with numbers and pics

    Thanks for taking the time. Looks like another example of marginal a/c performance. Add a hot climate with outside temps in the 90's to 100's and vent temps will easily push 60's to low 70's F.

    Blown cv joint help!

    The TFL truck guys blew one on their 2019 Rebel during an off road test video. It's a bummer they aren't more durable. You can see it at the 1:10 mark:
