So, as it states. What was your problem and how many miles are on your truck.

One of mine is an 05 with 100,000+ miles. Coil failure and electrical problem.

The other 05 has 45,000 miles. Head unit controller quit working. Still haven't figured out either one.

yep, mine crap on a stick. I don't know on an average day if mine will actually blow or not. I have to tap on the motor to get it started. Been "fixed" by the dealer at least 8 times and still doesn't cool. One thing that dodge has never done right...

Almost seven years and still going strong (knock on wood). Did have to add a little freon to the system earlier this year.

110k on my 06 A/C problems started right out of the chute. Recirc door fell out about 1 day after warranty. I have had a new compressor installed @ 80k
(2 yrs old) 2 leaks fixed and the tipm had to be reset. Right now I have the "manifold hose assy" leak... the part by the way, is on national backorder
I guess a lot of these pipes must be failing.

I think there should be a class action lawsuit....

I blocked the outside/recirc door in the recirc positon til I have time to fix it. I don't get air to the defrost or floor and the passenger side is warmer so I know there are several problems. Craig
