I used the MAX AC "trick" this morning on my drive in... it was GREAT! The
only problem I had was that my legs/feet were still cold... so I switched back
to FLOOR for 30 seconds and the whole interior was flooded with cold air...
Makes me wish that Dodge had taken a cue from many imports and offered a
"fresh" vs "re-circ" knob/button that can enable any output-position to offer
re-circulated air...
I was seriously considering a trip to the dealership to pick up a $43k 2004 Ram
2500 until I learned this MAX AC trick..... and remember my last name isn't
Gates or Hilton...
