A/C performance

Devin1349 · Jun 28, 2017

Hi guys so i was wondering am I the only one who's ac blows cold only when going highway speeds (65+) but wont blow cold in city, i noticed this within the past week ive driven just in city and it would get a little cool but not as cold as it does when im going 65+. is there something wrong with my Ram?

I to am having an a/c issue. I have read about the blending doors not closing fully. Dirty radiator ect. Pinching one of the hoses to see if the problem is solved. My ac blows 59 degrees right at the middle vents on high recirculate. What is the temperature at on high?

I dont know any temps or anything in my Ram I have the ST trim so its barebone as they come (I'll be upgrading to laramie longhorn someday) but as for right now i can say i definetly need to clean under the hood but I dont know if that will help my a/c get colder when i get the chance im going to double check the freon lines for leaks.

Clean your condenser first. Sounds like airflow problem

Not being a smart ass but it's the thing that looks like a radiator in front of your radiator

ok well i was looking around there and i do have some bugs and dirt my big thing is im afraid of cleaning under the hood because I dont want to damage anything otherwise id just go to the self service car wash and use the "under the hood" mode

You will fine. Use air or a water hose to blow the debris from the opposite side. Or use a bristle brush to remove all the debris

Just don't fold the fins and you should be fine. Should see a big difference. If that doesn't work find someone with a/c guages with MV hookup and check the charge.

@electricyeti, I hope i dont need to recharge i just had the lines fixed last year and had it charged if it does that tells me I might have to have more work done to it... or trade it in

An issue I had my ac was a leaking Schrader valve. Replaced, no more pressure loss

That's the next thing I was going to say. They are very overlooked.

My AC sucks in my 17 RCSB . My G6 will freeze you out but this truck isn't the best. When it's on recirculation and the outside temp is 81 , I shouldn't need my AC on full blast to cool my cab down.

Devin1349 · Jun 29, 2017

Well im wondering if a leak would affect my ac depending on how fast im going??? like I said it only get cold if im going 65+mph and then it will stay cold until I turn off my truck and let it sit for a little while

electricyeti · Jun 29, 2017

I would still focus on the airflow first. Then maybe check to see if it's the 65+ or if it's because of the sustained higher rpms. I can only assume whoever did your repair got everything tight and did a good evacuation of your system before recharging it .

If there is an electric cooling fan for the AC system, make sure it runs when the system is running.
