I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. MY A/C, HEAT, OR DEFROST HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2008. I CAN HEAR THE FLAN BLOWING HARD BUT HARDLY ANY AIR COMES OUT OF ANY OF THE VENTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT DOES NOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS PROPERLY AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE LIVING IN TEXAS FOR MOST OF MY MILITARY CAREER BUT AM PLANNING ON MOVING TO A COOLER CLIMATE AND I KNOW THAT NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS WILL BECOME AN ISSUE. IT ALSO BECOMES AN ISSUE ON LONG TRIPS WHEN I CAN'T GET THE CAB COOLED ENOUGH WHEN IT'S 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND CAN'T GET IT BELOW 95 DEGREES INSIDE MY TRUCK. *TR
