Just got a new Laramie about 4 hours ago. When I switched AC to auto, it was preset at low (coldest setting). Literally ice cold. Worked perfect synced at 72 for the next hour in it.
Mine did great today hopping in after parking it in the sun for two hours. Truck read 99 outside, even after driving for 10 minutes, and today was moderately humid (thunderstorms moving in). I left it in Auto at 72 (eventually I remembered this and turned it to 71 or 70). I typically keep my house cold enough that others wear layers, and I was comfortable. Granted, the ventilated seats help a LOT. Still haven’t taken digital measurements, but it seems to be getting the job done.That's wonderful! Have you read through the majority of the complaints? Don't know where you are but let us know when your vehicle shows 98 degrees on the outside side and has sat in the sun for 4 hours let us know how well the A/C does for you.
Was 6:00 in ft. Worth tx. Plenty hot lol. I did notice when it was not on auto, but "max air" where dealer had it, it didn't seem to blow as cold. Some might try their settings.That's wonderful!

Fort Worth?! Same hereWas 6:00 in ft. Worth tx. Plenty hot lol. I did notice when it was not on auto, but "max air" where dealer had it, it didn't seem to blow as cold. Some might try their settings.
HA, no reason to apologize. I should have paid more attention. Auto doesn't cut it for me.
... Guess that must be 32 degrees or below. Sure wish mine blew ice cold. Best I still get is 50 without the clamp and 44 when clamped. Would love to know how to get to ice cold. Going to take mine in soon to get pressures checked. Going to tell them some folks in the forum get ice cold air, hopefully they'll know what temperature that equates to and get mine down to match.
Mine does seem to work fine unless the truck is heat soaked before I fire it up. It can never recover and stays hot while the sun is still out. I did a 10 hour road trip and it stayed perfectly comfortable at low fan speeds for the entire trip, not clamped, which started in the early cool morning.
My biggest issue is still that it just can't cool down the truck when it starts hot. Unfortunately it's not garage kept, so it quite often starts out heat soaked when I get in it.
Update - Dealer Flashed HVAC this week and so far so good , miserably hot and humid in Houston and AC seems to be working as design, it did shut down once for a brief few seconds then back on ... this truck has software gremlins for sure..,,It’s hot again in Houston and my truck is in the shop to look over a/c. It is black on black Which doesn’t help but every vehicle my wife owns has been black and never any issues. It just doesn’t consistently push cold air from the vents, it was so bad last weekend (which was a scorcher) my wife refused to ride in it. The tech pulled a code when I dropped off and it indicated overheated blower. I’m hoping maybe a little light on refrigerant, will see. Tech said lots of a/c performance complaints on this model. Hoping for a solution.
Using infra red thermometer was 50’s on drivers hi 40’s on passenger, now 40’s and 30’s , who knows exactly with the cheap thermometer but as u can see a 10 degree drop which works. Lots of short trips in city , before would not cool down between stops, working for now ....What was it blowing before and what is it blowing now?

Thanks. I put the hose clamp on and tightened it all the way down. Will see what it does tomorrow.
That’s good numbers. Congrats!Ok temps are 42 degrees driver side and 39-40 passenger side. Temp today in Dallas was about 86.

Is yours a newer build? Maybe Ram has corrected the problem for the newer build trucks. Redesigned the blend doors maybe?I picked mine up last Monday in Lafayette LA and drove out to W Texas. We have had a few days over 100 and it has impressed me. I just missed the cooled seats , but’s it’s been great. 8 days ownership today and 1600 miles.
I’ll check build date. Hadn’t been on the lot longIs yours a newer build? Maybe Ram has corrected the problem for the newer build trucks. Redesigned the blend doors maybe?
