A/C Issues? Anyone else

[Rich]

We're going to be headed toward the Cali 115 degree heat tomorrow, so im curious if ill finally notice what you all have talked about, but so far, it's worked great under 100 degrees and ours is always on duel zones with back of console shut off

I had to take mine in for a service rear suspension issue and I mentioned the ac does seem to get real cold. He told me they had to charge it was low on Freon/coolant. Wife picked it up ,since I am heading overseas, she said it was cold but it can be 80 in the cab and she would be cold. So I hope the low charge was the issue. I bought it in late October so it had to come from the factory that way

Will ram issue a recall or notify owners when complete, or how will they get the word out? Also is ram expecting to include this as a recall or owner pays ipgrade?

I have heard it mentioned about frost/condensation on the windshield. I took this picture Friday night. The windshield was clear until we stopped for about 5 minutes. This happens consistently when it's hot and humid out and the truck sits with the AC running for a bit. I have never had a truck seem to "leak" so much AC air through the defroster.

That's everyday here in Florida...

Mine does the same exact thing every day here in Lower Alabama

Had that happen the other night. I had just turned the fan down in speed from full speed to something slower. Once I turned the fan back up in speed the moisture went away. Don't know why any of that happened.

2019 Laramie Diesel. Not sure why but my A/C seems to freeze me out. 91 degree TX heat and a/c a little above 40F with it set on 70F.

I'm not complaining!!!! Hope everyone else's issue is solved soon.

115 in Phoenix today and the hose clamp on the heater core line works like a charm. Sad it took a two dollar part but happy to drive in AZ heat again.

 

[Speedracer93CobraR]

Would you mind linking to an explanation or telling me where to clamp off?

See attached. Pic of my neighbors truck.. Clamp is from Harbor freight and on one of the hoses into the heat core at the firewall. It may be the return hose but the other hose is super small and hard to get to. He tried both and it was the same effect. Dropped vent temps ranging from 8-11 degrees.

If it helps you at all, we are trading in our 2018 sierra denali hd on an ordered 2019 ram, that I ordered knowing it may have a/c issues that I have to tweak myself. This is entirely due to the fact that my 18 month old gmc is rusting and the frame coating is coming off in large chunks. I would rather have to put a valve in to fix my ac then deal with rust like that

Don’t shoot the meager here.....buuuuuuuttttttt............these rams are notorious for rust issues from oil pans on Cummins, to all the fasteners and anything undercarriage. I don’t think there is a vehicle built today that can stand up to the salt Walter/brine crap they put on roads in the winter.

Less than pleased with the A/C in my 2020 2500...It is fine on 80 degree days, but if it is much hotter, I have to keep the fan on high and end up only coolish.

This is absurd. I can't believe that we all spend good amount of money for these brand new truck and this is what we have to rely on to have acceptable AC. And when you take it to the dealership to try remedy the situation they have the nerve to said to your face that blowing 50~60 degree is within their "spec".

The dealer can only go by what MOPAR/FCA tells them is acceptable... you are placing the blame on the wrong party, MOPAR/FCA are the ones to blame, not the dealers and believe me, I have no love for dealers.

I know no one wants to do this to their new truck but if the fix doesn't come out soon then you can put an electronic or manual bypass on the heater core lines. I have done this on some previous vehicles I have owned to help with the summer heat issue.

I have a 2003 ram I bought new 17 years ago.
That I drive when it is hot out ( a/c still works great )
Because my 2019 a/c sucks. Customer loyalty. How about FCA loyalty ?

You had a 3rd Gen without blend door failure? That's a miracle!
