RE: AC Coldness
It may work fine for the QC for all I know. Most of the complaints are with the Mega Cab. The exact same AC is used for all cabs, so if you have a smaller cab I'm sure you'll be fine. That's why it's a mega cab site that was set up. www.mydodgemegacab.com

RE: This is great timing...
Hey Gonefishing, excellent post. But honestly, why should someone do all of that, just to have the vehicle cool off.
The Ford Crown Victoria's AC, will freeze you out in a matter of minutes. And that's a large sized vehicle, with a V-8.
I really think, that someone at Dodge didn't do their homework when dealing with the AC.

RE: AC Coldness
Guys, Its still a problem. I have had the factory rep. supervise the repairs on repair attempt # 7. At that visit I had over a 20 degree spread at the vents, you will never cool any vehicle with 70-80 A/C air from the vents. Went through repair # 8 two weeks ago (three new parts), well....it blows cold air but it is only in the 70's here in central Ca.
My Mega Cab just turned 7,000 miles. After all my problems I was offered an extended service contract (Max Care) from Daimler to buy me off. My attorney said "refuse it"! When next summer comes and the A/C will not perform again, I will be getting afull refund one way or another.

RE: AC Coldness
Hey Silverbullit06, that's interesting, because when i took my vehicle to the dealership because of what i thought was a problem with the AC (Passenger side vent blowing warmer air than drivers side) I was told that a TSB -Tech Service Bulletin came out indicating that, that was normal...
I think i better take my vehicle back to the dealership, and see whats going on.

RE: AC Coldness
Did anything ever come of this? The problem mine has (2002 QC) is that after driving for an hour or more, it quits blowing air out of the vents. If I turn the fan up high I can hear it blowing but almost no aircomes out of the vents. I have no idea where it's going, I just know that it's not coming out of the vents. My truck doesn't get driven much. Currently it has just under 36K. Anyone get a solution to their problems? Mine sounds a lot like what silverbullet06 was going thru.

ORIGINAL: silverbullet06
I took my truck to dealer #3 for the same faulty air conditioning problem (4 times in two months). Now the fan blows but no air comes out of the vents on any selector position.
I demanded a conference call with D.Chrysler warranty department when the truck was checked out. They looked at me like I was crazy, so... I called D.Chrysler and asked to speak to a manager or supv. After 5 minutes on hold they said they were all in meetings and would return my call.... well, it never happened.
Towards the end of the day I got a call from the dealer and they said the Recirc. door came apart!! Guess what? There is a nationwide back order for the part. Sounds fishy. Can you spell recall? I told the dealer.
I work for a large corporation that is an OEM parts supplier to the major auto manufacturers, so I know how the system works. Auto manufacturers DO NOT want quality problems to go public!! It can start a very expensive recall program.
