ed wrote my 1999 ram 1500 107000 miles has never had a problem with the ac either. its a good idea to run the a/c occasionally even if you dont need it to keep everything moving lubed etc. i make sure to run mine about once a week. im not 100% sure but i think the ac compressor runs in the defrost mode. if you frequently use the defroster it shouldnt be necessary to run the ac in the winter. -- ken .
