This is a message from a private conversation that I had off the DML that I
thought was rather informative. I've always thought that Dodge built my truck
to blow the air out the top and bottom ducts instead of through the dash on wide
open throttle and when the a/c cutout function is in action. Not so?!? Read
on- Jeff told me that the dealer said he had a check valve bad-they replaced it
and he has full frontal vent function under WOT. Part # included for your
enjoyment. Anyone else's do this or had this repair done?
