RE: Poor Design?
Have the dealer activat the manual high idle. i start my megacab 5min before i leave kick it up to 1000 rpm and by the time i leave the ac is ice cold. by the way i commute from Mesa to Downtown Phx. I had a problem with the diverter door last month and it is a 2 day fix because they have to pull out the dash but Earnhards gave me a rental car and all was good after that.

RE: Poor Design?
Thx for all of your comments... but I need to get something strait...
My AC blows cold... the problem lies that the air does not blow through the vents very hard and circulate the air through the cab. In every other vehicle that I have ever owned when you put the AC on full blast it will actually blow very nicely... when I put this one on full blast the hair on my arms barely moves. That's my only issue... it's the circulation of the air in the cab, not the quality of the coldness.
I don't want to start installing oscilating fans in the cab of my truck just to stay cold! hehe!

Got the Megacab back from the shop - after the recirculate flap was repaired I have at least twice the airflow. My conclusion is that if your Megacab can not blow enough air to move the hair on your arm (and mine could not), it is brokenand needs repair. It also blows much more quietly FWIW.
Regards.

my friend here in Corpus Christi has a mega and Dodge (Lithia) admitted that it was a design flaw and that Dodge has not done anything about it. you can have the dealer block the vent that goes into the back seat (floor vent i think) and this will dramatically increase the air for the frint cab.

RE: Poor Design?
they fixed mine without blocking the floor vent. the service rep told me they had a batch of bad door parts when some of the mega cabs were put together. it sounded plausable to me.... we installed over 30 toilet seats in a building i just finished and every one of them broke off at the tips because of a bad plastic mold. the toilet seat rep (no kidding there is such a job) sent out all new seats no charge.
