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

    Because your "opinion" is just that, there's nothing scientific about it. I've noticed quite a few posts like yours and they seem to be trying to deflect from the problem that many people have.

    Service Trip #4 AC/Vents

    I would bet that if you have the FCA factory scan tool computer it probably has a toggle to disable this "feature" however that might be a legal liability for the company which they won't allow. If an owner can gain access it would be interesting to see if this toggle can be found, I'm almost...

    Air conditioning performance

    Actually if it's not an automotive specific thermometer it's likely for a refrigerator safety zone. The safe zone for a refrigerator compartment is 42 F or less but optimal performance for a fridge (energy and food safety is between 38-42 F. It's kind of ironic that in the automotive HVAC...

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

    Folks why not take a temperature reading and post it? These vague observations aren't helpful.

    A/C Performance

    When you go for the test drive take a thermometer with a probe and see what you find on max AC, recirc, while idling. Best is a high quality digital gauge with a corded probe.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Could be that the flaw causes extra stress on them due to the defect and being plastic or thin metal actuators their service life will be cut short...just a guess. In any case I am really floored that FCA hasn't come up with a true TSB for total correction of the problem. It's so glaring a defect!

    Care to take a thermometer and get a vent temp for us?

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

    Actually there is a "nominal" temperature that has tended to be a standard throughout the automotive industry for many years now. Usually right around 40-42 F at all vents when A/C is on Max, on recirc, running for 30 minutes at idle in 95 F ambient temp with over 50% humidity. This is across...

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

    I've noticed when some folks here claim that their AC blows "ice cold" they never want to back it up with taking a thermometer and giving us the vent temp? Coincidence? :ROFLMAO:;)

    Air conditioning Hack

    It wouldn't, my guess is the blend doors are fragile to begin with if they are actually breaking.

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

    There is a coding facility in the Audi HVAC module that can be set to either "cold country" or "hot country" with the Audi scan tool, if that coding is set incorrectly (If you live in a warmer region overall) and the coding is set to "cold country" it will NOT allow the AC to perform at it's...

    You can refuse to do this but then you have to live with uncomfortable performance from the AC. :unsure:

    Air conditioning Hack

    No matter what the dealer or the service people tell you when a r1234yf system is working properly it will cool with the exact same effectiveness as the r134a refrigerant. This ridiculous myth that the dealers seem to be spreading to the public is an absolute patient falsehood.

    UAW to strike at midnight tonight at GM

    There are many reasons for the strike, I think one of them is that GM is still moving production out of the USA and has been for years now AFTER they received their gov't bailout which was based on the fact it would keep jobs at GM here in the USA. This isn't about employee wage money so much...

    Air conditioning Hack

    FCA and Ram Trucks should hire KcRay for his efforts to help frustrated owners. They should bring him on as a consultant! Thanks man, you're the best!(y)(y):giggle::coffee:

    Mine fell off - how does the heater wire connect to the rear window ?

    Notice the tangs inside the snap connector area? They are probably bent in too far and need to be GENTLY pushed back OUT to line up flat with the black plastic fitting the idea is those tangs grab the fastener on the window.

    A/C Performance

    Don't think that way. If everyone lay down and caved in, car manufactures wouldn't create modifications for anything that needed attention after customers purchased, owners need to keep pushing and not stop. FCA would love for you to just "go away" and trade in. Don't do it. Keep battling them...

    Air conditioning performance

    While R12 was slightly superior to r134a and now r1234yf when the systems are operating optimally the r1234yf system in the 2019 New Ram will cool just as well as any r134a system like the old model Ram does. This is an issue of a poorly designed system or faulty mechanical items like flaps and...

    A/C Performance

    Wow that's crazy, although it isn't impossible that the pressure in the system increases slightly causing the temp to drop. Anyone else care to offer an explanation as to why that might occur?
