Of course Im in a freakin heat wave!!

It seems like when it gets over 85 out the A/c barely is cold. Its definitely working somewhat but not to the degree it should. I drove for 45min and it didnt even get cold enough to stop me from melting lol But later on that night turned it on..and it got cold enough that I turned it down.

WTH?! Any tips, ideas...need to be recharged? Please help..the leather seats are killing me and I swear I might rip them out next time I get out cause they are stuck to me!

 

When it is hot are you using recirc or outside air?

 

I always use recirculated air...isnt that the norm to get it and keep it cold? ( unless the cab is stinky lol)

I think it isnt working at all....till I turn off the a/c and blow air..then turn it on, then I feel the SLIGHT difference. Its aggravating! This giant PITA of mine just has to last 1 more year...then I'm torching it.

Sadly...my dream truck has been 1 thing after another. **** thing looks so nice too. Too bad it keeps breaking on me!

 

check your freon levels. my truck has burned through 3 ac compressors, and multiple other ac parts for the last 2 years (under warranty) but this is the first year out of warranty and my ac is acting up again!

Pick up a Quest A/C charge hose with a guage on it with metal fittings. You can use it to check the freon status without attaching a can of R134A. If you need to add freon, just attach a can, puncture it, set the temp reference on the guage (outside temp) and add freon until the needle in the guage reaches the range shown for the temp.

Thanks! Im pretty sure the compressor is working. I mean it comes on..no noises just isnt getting cold enough.

 

I see you are in TX. Im in Ottawa Canada...I use the A/c maybe 2 months of the year lol

But that sucks. Dont even get me started on warranty. I have a contract thats says I got a 120k but the dealer says its 80. And guess what? Chrysler doesnt give a flying hoot.

 

chrysler is the worst service out of all of the big names... but its prolly just low on freon.

 

Sounds like you are low on freon. I would do what Coastal said. Should get you through until torching time!!

 

Mindy, send the user, "spooler" a PM...He's done a lot of work on these truck's AC systems.

Sounds like your are low on refrigerent. Very common with these trucks. It seems to be a constant battle..LOL By the way, 85 isn't hot. It was over 100 her today with a heat index of 113 to 117 deg. F.
