Setting of Lo, blower all the way up, seems to take forever to cool off the truck. Even after airing it out. I’m only in Wisconsin too, what about people in truly warm states?

 

My Tacoma would get so cold you could see your breath.

Alabama here. Factory tint and has been 100 in the shade recently.AC in my Custom double cab is amazing. May be the coldest system I have ever had in a vehicle.

I agree. My '19 is colder than my '16.  Those who are wondering about vent temp, invest in an A/C thermometer. That tells the story of how well your system is working.

Two words, sun shade.  Also preserves your dash.

 

I've also noticed, and this is kind cool I think, that if your making a hands free call through the truck blue tooth the AC blower slows down so you can hear and the truck mics hear you.  That function would definately affect cooling off a hot truck. (assuming you have the dual zone climate).

Getting the windows tinted with a film that's designed to reject infrared energy helps a lot with keeping temperatures down and helping the AC to get the cab cooled faster. Ceramic tint is a popular one. I think my 2014 had a little more cooling power but as others have pointed out, the rear vents are pulling some of that cool air from the front vents in the 2019's. If nobody is back there, you could close the rear vents. That will give the front vents a little more flow. Also found that cracking open the rear sliding window helps pull some of the hot air out until the AC gets going. 

 

Pro tip: A few minutes before you're ready to jump in the truck, you can roll all the windows down on the truck.

(1) Press [Unlock]

(2) Release

(3) Press [Unlock] again and hold it for 3-4 seconds.

Do it right and all four windows will roll down to help get as much heat out as possible.

Explain (2) release . I cant get this to work on my 19 custom trail boss

I'm assuming it's not an option on the custom level trucks.

Living in Phoenix where 100 can seem cool, I can tell you having a sunshade will do you wonders. That will aid in cooling the truck immensely.

 

The AC in my wife's '17 RX350 seems to be more challenged in the Arizona heat.

I agree. Does not work on my Custom.

I'm not sure if the feature is on the Custom or not, but it's off by default so you may just need to turn it on. In the Infotainment system. I don't have the exact steps in front of me, look for a Remote Window Down feature or something like that. I know it's available in my RST, I'm not sure which trim level it starts at.

My brother is on Ram no. 6. An 95 big daddy 5.9 2 door. Next up diesel modified banks 6 gun. Then 3 hemis. The latest  brand new 21. I had 3 in that time. His shop foreman 2 in the last five years. I could go on. We live in south Texas. Never an AC cooling problem. A problem like that here wouldn’t stand. Never.

interesting, seen multiple peeps complain about AC on them, random issue i guess

    • It’s probably water in the doors. Mine had tape over the drain holes! Poked them open and that took care of it. Now I’m waiting for the rust to come through!🤬
    • Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.
    • I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.
    • Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well. 
    • Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer
