i have a 98 i need to do currently. awsome video. thanks, and nice work.
taking the dash down complete will save many hours of work. did not even
know it was possible.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Is the car insured ? If so set fire to it…done one of these years ago
nightmare …
@chris brewer, was everything similar? im attempting a heater core switch
on my ’00 dakota tomorrow. and thanks for the video, this is liek the only
one out there that shows the loication of everything, and the steps.
Thank you Woodslinger, I just replaced my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 heater core
and evaporator thanks to you. It took me 2.5 hours to remove the housing
under the dash. Your tips on tools and that thin itty bitty wire are
profound and for that I sulute you. My wife had doubts and I had the WWW
“wild wild web”. Thank you again, Hammer.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video, it’s a great help for someone
like me that’s about to tackle on this job for the first time.
just did this tonight on my 02 cummins. To add to the video…i removed my
seat to gain more access; that transmission indicator cable and the bracket
under the steering colum come off easily…just remove them; Dash is
heavier than i imagined; I left my heater hoses on the core, removed them
off the engine side and pulled them through the firewall; Hardest part for
me was getting the ac lines disconnected and reconnected, use the style he
used in the video, i used a different style and fought them; IT WENT PRETTY
QUICK WITH THE HELP OF THE VIDEO…THANKS!
Someone replaced my heatercore and evaporator, but I still have no heat.
Dealership seems to think they may have put the blower motor in backwards.
Is that possible. Thanks for the video.
Great video! Going to try this tomorrow.
Thank you for the instructions.I needed to install a new heater core.could
not have done it with out you.thanks
thanx 4 reply treelite . im just guessing from reading at forums but what i
think some have done is use hack saw blade to cut heatercore tubes off core
while still in the box . this allows them to then remove core by just
lifting out . then they install the new kind with tubes that are turnable ,
turnable tubes allow them to get tubes through firewall without removing
box . and ive seen over 5 guys at forums say theyve done heater core
without touching ac . and the guys seemed honest
I did the heater core two years ago. And I’m pretty sure you will not be
able to remove the heater core without disconnecting the AC lines. You have
to tilt the box or the enclosure toward the seats to get the heater core
out. But you don’t have to remove the box completely, just unscrew the
little brace and ground wire than secures it to the box after u tilt it..
and disconnect the heater and AC lines.
5-29-13 I have oil leaking from my coil inside my dodge 2500. AC still
works great. Forty degrees air from vents. You video is very informative. I
hope to replace mine, using your information. Thank you very much. If you
have additional information that will help in changing a dodge 2500, please
paste it or send me a clip at jack.truelove@gmail.com. Thanks again,
6-8-13 thank you so much for making this video this is awesome!, I have a
2001 2500 and a few months ago I replaced the dash cover and I was cussin
up a storm if I had seen your video it would have made the job a lot
easier, I have to replace the evaporator core now, I’m doing it tomorrow
and I will be using your guidance to do it. I want to thank you again and I
think my neighbors will thank you to (they won’t have to cover there kids
ears)
Would it be the same for a Dodge Ram Charger 2000?
Thanks for the video! The ac coil was $109 from napa and the ac charge was
$79 from jiffy lube. Way better than $1000
Thank you very much for making this video! The shop gave me a quote of
$1500 to replace a $65 evaporator. If it was not for this video, it would
be out of luck and out of money!
great video …is it the same for a 2003 ram ?
Awesome! This helped me from having to pull my whole dash out. Much
appreciated…
Youre alright dude thanks for the video helped a lot ,.. my cash is low
right now and I live down in the south where it is hotter the hell hadnt
had no Ac in a long time couldnt aford it till you showed me how to do it
my self
Thank you. I just did the job using this video too. Saved enough money to
buy a dashboard cap!
How to diagnose a bad evap core at home..?
Unreal. I am getting ready to replace the heater core in my fathers 99
dodge 1500. Video was very helpful. Thanks
Did you replace your accumulator?
Great video, my husband would like to know if a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 system
would be the same? We have a evaporator leak, and need to replace it! This
will be the 3rd one, the second one lasted about 9yrs. hope this next one
lasts as long!
dunno
Thanks for the video man! I have a 98 Ram and i’m pretty sure the
evaporator is shot. Looks like i’ll be doing mine this weekend.
Bro,thanks alot for the vid,three garages were going to charge me between 6
n 800 buck to do what you just did claiming its a all day job because they
have to take the whole dash out,lol
great vi and excellent directions!
Thanks this will help alot my truck would blow cold then it would go hot .
Then the other night i turned it on and it was like choking and i looked
under the truck and there was water but now i no how to check it
Dude, this is great…thanks for your time, and the effort you put forth to
make this video! the only thing I need now is to get up and get her done!
AWESOME thanks!
