Maximum Allowable Air Temperature at Center Panel Outlet 9°C (48°F) 9°C (48°F) 12°C (54°F) 15°C (59°F) 18°C (65°F)
Maximum Allowable Air Temperature at Driverside 2nd Row Headliner Outlet 10° C (50° F) 10° C (50° F) 13° C (56° F) 15° C (60° F) 18° C (65° F)
Compressor Inlet Pressure at Service Port (Low Side) 138 to 207 kPa (20 to 30 psi) 138 to 207 kPa (20 to 30 psi) 207 to 276 kPa (30 to 40 psi) 207 to 276 kPa (30 to 40 psi) 241 to 310 kPa (35 to 45 psi)

How warm is the air coming out of the vents? And what are you using to check the air temp.

NUMBER: 24-013-01
GROUP: Heating & A/C
DATE: September 28, 2001
SUBJECT:
Warm air blows from panel outlets with A/C on at idle.
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves installing an electric cooling fan kit.
MODELS:
1998 - 1999 (DN) Durango
NOTE: THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES NOT EQUIPPED
WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some 1998 - 1999 (DN) Durangos may blow warm air out the instrument panel outlets
while the A/C is ON in conditions of ambient temperatures exceeding 30 C. (86 F.)
and the vehicle not in motion. In conditions of "stop-and-go" traffic or while idling in
high ambient temperatures, the A/C high side pressures may exceed the high-pressure
switch shut off of 450 - 490 psi. causing the A/C compressor to disengage. The
compressor will re-engage once the high side pressure drops below 270 - 330 psi.
The root cause of the problem may be related to inadequate airflow through the A/C
condenser in high ambient temperatures while the vehicle is not in motion.
DIAGNOSIS:
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL NOT CORRECT A CONDITION WHERE
THE A/C COMPRESSOR DISENGAGES DUE TO EXCESSIVE HIGH SIDE
PRESSURE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NOR WILL THIS PROCEDURE
CORRECT ANY A/C PERFORMANCE COMPLAINT OTHER THAN THE LOSS
OF A/C IN "STOP-AND-GO" TRAFFIC OR IDLE CONDITIONS WHILE IN
HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY.

I don't know if this will apply for the problem you are having, let know if it does. Also have had the heating system checked for any stored codes?

An easy way to do the math that isn't quite the correct answer, but will get you really close is remember that 0C is freezing of water, and in F it is 32F right? All you have to do is look at the difference between the 0 and the 32, which equals 32.

Now add the 32 to the C degree. In this case it is 15, so 15 + 32 = 47 degree's F. Now like I said it isn't entirely correct but the answer if VERY close and easy to do in your head.

if you are blowing warm air through the vents when it is cold outside (with the A/C off) you have a blend door issue
