YUP, I got my $4.99 clamp in truck. Even with the TSB done, I do not think the AC will do well in August when temps hit 110. At that point, clamp go on for a while, if I still have the truck.IMHO the Harbor Freight clamps are the best non TSB solution. Easy on off and I move them a bit once during the season so the hose doesn't get damaged. Been running that way for 2 years. I have no interest in a dealer doing such an invasive repair with all the associated risk. When I trade it or take it for service, the clamp comes off.
JUST beware of all that is done and watch out for the problem I am having that I described after TSB done ref Remote Start, AC not engaging when used from last setting. MAKE sure U check that is U get TSB done.I want the TSB while I’m under warranty. My truck should work like it supposed to.
I definitely will make sure remote start climate is working after. Guess the only way to tell if the TSB was done is to check the temps on the left side of the radio?JUST beware of all that is done and watch out for the problem I am having that I described after TSB done ref Remote Start, AC not engaging when used from last setting.

You'll know the difference. My center stack right side went from 54-57 to 46-51. The big thing was the remote start climate not working. THAT really makes me upset and awaiting Dealer to take in truck to "fix"/STAR case.I definitely will make sure remote start climate is working after. Guess the only way to tell if the TSB was done is to check the temps on the left side of the radio?
See my post 1065 ref remote start and make sure U get that checked. HECK, check it yerself and see if works as anticipated.I had the TSB done my '20. I wonder if they missed something, they only had the truck about 6 hours (they also worked on seat [couldn't fix it], checked the brakes ["Didn't want to throw parts at it"] - not fixed, fixed door latch, updated transmission, and updated backup sensor). That seems like a lot in less than a day compared to what others have stated about the time required for just the AC TSB. The air coming out of the vents on a 92* day is about 57 on both sides, though there may be a bit more airflow than before. I just dropped it off at the dealer this morning to take another crack at those things. The service manager came out of his office and berated me for giving them a negative response on the survey (effects his pay, makes him look bad etc etc). Sorry to vent (pun intended), just not happy with my first Ram and the service that comes with it.
Yeah no way they performed the TSB with those temps.The air coming out of the vents on a 92* day is about 57 on both sides
Wow! Sounds like he earned that negative review. I'd dock him again for this fact alone. "They fixed the problem, but berated me in the process."The service manager came out of his office and berated me for giving them a negative response on the survey (effects his pay, makes him look bad etc etc).
a couple months ago I had the TSB done at my local dealer and it took 8 hours. The results are impressive. I live in the Phoenix area and the temps are well over 100 everyday and the cab is very comfortable. They replaced all the parts that go with the TSB and did a very good job of re-installing the dash. I have a Limited so it has the big screen and leather dash. So far no complaints. If they said the preformed the TSB and you are not getting cold air from the vents something is wrong.Wow! Sounds like he earned that negative review. I'd dock him again for this fact alone.

Update: They called and said the AC is not working as it should, maybe they received a bad part. They ordered the parts to do the TSB again. Fingers crossed..I had the TSB done my '20.

THERE R specific parts for specific trim/set ups., ie., single/dual zone/gas/diesel. I guess it is possible they had incorrect parts.Update: They called and said the AC is not working as it should, maybe they received a bad part. They ordered the parts to do the TSB again. Fingers crossed..
