Maybe it's time to stop buying RAM's
if it weren’t such an easy fix I would, but I love everything else about the truck compared to the alternatives.

78°? You’re kidding right? More like 70°I'm curious... Those that feel the A/C is inadequate in the Ram 5th gen trucks, what temperature do you maintain your house at in the summer? I have a feeling that those that are upset with the A/C performance keep their homes significantly less than 78°
People who set their AC to 78 in their homes either can’t afford the electric bill or love being miserable cheapskates.I'm curious...

Doesn't everyone keep their homes comfortable? Maybe people's comfort levels, ( when it comes to temperatures) are personal, and subjective.I'm curious...

Dude, get yourself a new thermostat with WiFi. That thing looks like it was made in 1970Doesn't everyone keep their homes comfortable? Maybe people's comfort levels, ( when it comes to temperatures) are personal, and subjective.

Thanks for the shout-out, always happy to share my backyard mechanic's skills.Loyal Dodge/Ram owner but living in Houston my 2019 A/C does NOT perform at an acceptable level. Dealer admitted many customers have same complaint, had the software flash but did not help. If it weren’t for the simple and brilliant suggestion of KcRay and the AC hack I would have left the RAM family. It is irritating that some of us have to do this but I enjoyed a nice cool cab this week while the temps were in high 90’s. Thanks KcRay!
What is the hack to fix it?

You and a few others obviously have the exception. However I have now owned two 5th gen Rams and a close friend has also owned two 5th gen Rams , from Big Horns to Limiteds , gas to Eco diesels and out of 4 trucks none blow colder than 50-51 and when it gets really hot like 100 they won’t blow colder than mid 50’s. That’s a sample of 4 new trucks, I’d like to think that we are not in the minority. I have owned more new trucks than I can count, from Tundras, to F150’s to Ram 1500’s and 2500’s, I have never had to Jimmy rig my AC in any new truck I’ve owned to get cold AC.
Good post my friend, and I don't disagree that people feel different things in different ways...we are all unique and what is cold to one may not be cold to another. No one on here is "arguing" anything or picking sides. You clearly have an issue with your AC. There are just a few of us that have taken the time to accurately test the temps and provided our results. My decision and stance is based on hard data that cannot be disputed as have others. No one is picking a side here or just posting for the sake of arguing as you suggest. As an engineer, my thought process is sound. If every truck experienced the issue, it's a design problem that should be corrected. If "some" trucks are experiencing the issue, then the thoughts should surround why and how to fix the issue. Maybe you are correct in that RAM could give a **** and it is what it is and your only hope is a heater hose control valve. I don't think anyone on this forum is thinking "I am happy with my truck so screw you".Same as you. I've owned 2 2019 RAMS. First was lemoned and it suffered from the same issue. Replacement, same issue. Blows in the mid 50's.
Though I doubt anyone really gives a **** to the point they'll actually read this and change their minds as we all picking sides these days and stick by them whether we are right or wrong, I actually have a point to make.
Everyone is different. We all "feel" differently, we are all different ages and we all use our trucks different. Those that feel as if their trucks are ice cold, probably do feel it that way. I can feel it that way depending on the circumstances that I use the truck. I can also get it to where it's miserable and I want to just drive it off a cliff and cut my loses. I can see and feel it both ways. But, as I've said, folks prefer to argue and that's just that. No one is ever going to change their stance on this issue once they've made their opinion known. Mostly because no one really gives a **** or even cares. As long as they are happy with their truck, screw you and your gripe. I think it's just fun to come on here and argue....as I think others would agree.
