Answer
Sorry if u dont like my answer  but this is a normal issue that people have been complaining of on the durangos sense they have come out in 98  and still had the same issue through 03 then they changed the whole design of them. U have a large cabin and a smaller evap then what it can really handle  its a design flaw  what they should have done is but the evap that is in the mini van that can handle the larger air space.
As for the ad for my business  u take it how ever u want its a signature that goes on every one of the 17,000 answers that I have made sense joining this site and offering my time for free.
