Thank you. I will call today and set an appointment with him for next week. Thanks.My SA was Vernon.

Test now and in the summer, with a thermometer. Check the vent to the left of your info screen, and the vent to right of screen. Coldest setting, recirculation on.I'm wondering if I have this issue. It is cold here in NY 32 degrees yesterday. The sun was out and I was a bit overdressed so was HOT driving. I actually switched the AC on LO and really didn't think it got all that cold in the truck. Would it not get that cold given the outside temps? What would be the best way to determine how well my AC is working? Should I wait until summer? Thanks in advance.
Finally was able to keep an appointment at the dealer for a variety of issues. This is the one that is pertinent to this thread.
Customer states that the AC is not blowing as cold as it was when purchased.
Hi and Lo shreader leaking, seal at suction line leaking, humidity upon inspection confirmed customer concern. Found that AC temp was aprox 7 deg F higher than it should be for the current humidity and temp. Checked temp and pressures, found pressures to be low. Using leak detector and UV light found 3 leaks. PA parts for repair.
So apparently my AC system was leaking. Just waiting on parts. The tech said the leaks were real hard to find and using the UV light was the key to finding them.
I finally got what I think was good service at Ed voyles in Marietta. Had terrible service at two locations previously in the area. I also have heard good things about the Gwinnett CDJR from my brother in law but that’s too far from me.Kinda funny now that this is happening. For years we had folks telling us that theirs works just fine and that nothing could possibly be wrong. Just goes to show these forums are full of nut jobs. Never could understand why someone would assume that because theirs works fine that everyone else was insane for questioning their A/C systems. So glad to see something is finally getting done. I now have 25600 miles with plenty up time left on my warranty. Going to wait until warmer weather before taking mine in. Unfortunately, I'm in the Metro Atlanta area and the only dealerships we have are gheto as hell and do horrible work. I'll probably have to take mine to a dealer some distance away to try to get some decent service. I'll probably never buy another ram for as long as I continue to live in this area just because of the lack of good dealer support. My area is saturated with ford and gm.
I thought I read in the TSB that an evaporator was included, but it doesn't look like they did one in yours?So my truck has undergone the TSB repair. I don't know if it made a difference as it isn't all that warm currently, even in Houston!!!! Anyway the car seems to be put back together without issue, and I am very aware of minor changes/noises, etc., from my years working in an automotive assembly plant. I am attaching my service report for those interested. View attachment 77193
Anyone know where I can find this specific TSB?I thought I read in the TSB that an evaporator was included, but it doesn't look like they did one in yours?
Yes, 100 posts prior to yours in this thread.Anyone know where I can find this specific TSB?
No, the A/C issue has nothing to do with the heater hoses diameter. It is a combination of the blend doors not sealing correctly (hence the reason for the new HVAC box part number), a duct temp sensor location (the reason for the new distribution box part number and new temp sensor), and HVAC module mapping (the reason for the new HVAC module part number).FYI this issue is due to the internal diameter (ID) of the heater hoses. I think read here someone said FCA used 5/8" ? - In any case, this temperature outlet issue only exists because of the hose diameter. You may be able to swap the hoses or use a couple of barbed step-downs to reduce hose inner diameter and see the same results as a valve. Not sure what the impacts/risks are for a valve vs. correct hose ID.
Dang. Thought Streetsweeper had all the answers.No, the A/C issue has nothing to do with the heater hoses diameter.
