Riccnick, now go clamp off your heater core line (which takes about 2 minutes) and then drive around in your truck for 10 minutes and tell us if the A/C feels any different.
I absolutely agree with scientific measurements of the temps etc. However, I can tell you that of the 3 cars in my driveway, and the dozen I’ve owned in the last 20 years, only one hasn’t cooled acceptably. I don’t think it is my job to debug Ram’s issues here (and I took it to the dealer at one month of ownership) but I will if I have to.
I also of course agree that some amount of temperature bleed must be expected and designed for in these air boxes. However, for all of those who are complaining that seem to have such a rapid fix by blocking off the heater core, something must be wrong. I also have some concerns that while the factory test procedure is end-to-end, it may not adequately catch this kind of issue.
PS: I pulled out my glove box lid and air filter once before and I don’t recall seeing the blend door, only the recirc door, but I’ll revisit next weekend. What I’d really like to know is where I can snake an inspection camera in.
