Part 2 (Rebuild) of a 3 part series detailing the process to properly rebuild the HVAC system of a 3rd generation (2003-2009) Dodge Ram with a new evaporator core and all 5 air doors without hacking the box apart and taping it back together. All air doors came from Blend Door USA and the evaporator core came from Four Seasons.

im a 60 year old forty year certified tech.... loved this video no short cuts just great competent work explained well.... i just popped in a recirculation blend door without pulling the dash by taking out the heater motor and actuator and putting it in... but the defrost floor heat blend door is busted also so i will be asking my customer how far he wants to go and if he wants to put in the aluminum blend door kit looks like a great kit.... thanks for posting such a great video very well done...

Just finished this. Appreciate the help, a lot! Saved me a ton of money. Some things to note. You can use a pick to release the connectors to the actuators when stuck. press down on the side of the connector facing the housing. You can buy a set up of picks and hooks at harbor freight for less than five bucks. WD-40 helped me remove the old gasket material.

I have a 2008 RAM, 6.7l Cummins, manual transmission and your videos are by far one of the most useful, comprehensive and informative videos I have come across. Not only did you provide the source for replacement doors, but also any other possible detail needed. I can't express my appreciation for your effort. Thank you Sir! I was even able to find my question I have/had in the comment section. Although - if you don't mind me asking it again to maybe get a clarification on it. HOW is it possible that the door position and actuator do not need a certain 'alignment' when being installed? I don't doubt your reply to the question, I just can't picture it. This might change once I have taken it all apart, but I would like to be efficient without delays when it comes to the point of the truck being unusable. Again - Thank you taking the time and most effective video composition without any unnecessary rambling or bad video quality!!!

The actuators don't have and stops molded into them. They are simply a geared motor that will turn infinitely. The actuators change direction by reversing polarity on the motor. The truck detects a full stop by sensing an increase in resistance from the motor, then killing the power. It will turn until it cannot turn anymore, then stop. You can play with this by putting your hand in the housing and blocking the recirculation door. It will turn until it hits your hand, and then stop trying until you command another position change.

Instead of the weatherstrip he used I bought a 1/2”x1/2” expandable foam strip and used it. At first I thought a grave mistake in my purchase however you need to speed the expansion up with a bit of heat. After the heat I was pleasantly surprised at how close it was to the factory foam. It was at Lowes right near the MD foam he used and is also an MD product.

You always have the option of cutting apart the box and going through the side, but I dont understand why people would do that. The box is super expensive to replace if you jack it up. The good news is if you replace all the doors the right way, you'll never have to go into it again for a failed door.

John, im currently experiencing passenger heat, driver cold air when the front heat mode in a dual zone 2016 2500 laramie is selected. Ive also noticed that my feet, defrost, and rear vents are all cold when selecting those and heat. A/C in all areas seems to work fine. Thoughts on causes? I think i could follow your video to remove dash - i’d rather not yank the whole box out. Any ideas if i can solve the issue without a full disassembly?

Hi, quick question. I have a 2002 4.7L SLT that does not have dual climate control, however, something has happened with the blend door or actuator because only the driver side vents work and not the passenger side. I've been told that even though the truck isn't equipped with dual climate control, it still has the hardware for it. I'm going to take the dash off and get into the HVAC system box (like shown in the video) to see if it's the actuator or the blend door. Does anyone know if I can get to all the screws to separate the black HVAC box without removing it from the truck? I don't want to go through the hassle and expense of evacuating the system and removing the HVAC lines from inside the engine bay. I just want to access the dual climate, blend door and actuator.

I've done several for several people. It's not terribly hard to do yourself if you want to tackle it. Be warned though, on the early 3rd gen trucks you will destroy the upper dash cover when you pull it out. They're very brittle. I have yet to take one out without breaking it. The later style dash, like what is in my truck, holds up much better.

Hi, thanks for your info. I am not sure but with my 89 Chevy s10, the Compressor is working and pressures are good. The ac works but when it’s real hot outside 90 plus, the temps coming out is in the 70s. Somehow I think the blend door is broken and it has warm ambient air mixing with the cool air and it doesn’t come out as cool as it should be. Do you have any thoughts on how I can proceed, thank you.

The only way to truly know if you have a broken door without taking the box apart is to reach down the vents with a bore-scope camera. Other things to try is to check to make sure one refrigerant line is cold at the firewall and the other is room temperature. You could also try to stop the coolant flow from the heater core to check to see if it's trying to heat the air inside the box.

Hi John, Great video. I have a 2008 Infiniti QX56 that I am trying to get to the cause of a door/floor creaking sound. In other words, it's not a clicking sound of a broken gear in one of the actuators. I have watched so many videos and read the forums trying to find someone else with this symptom. One mechanic who was showing where some of the actuators were in the Infiniti thought maybe it's a problem with the actual door itself making the creaking. Have you ever dealt with something like this before? I didn't see you mention it here but I'll ask anyway....do these doors need to be greased? Have you ever had creaking actuators? Do the actuators need to have any parts greased? I was concerned that when my mechanic fixed a clicking actuator, he didn't bring the door and actuator back to base and the actuator is trying to move the door passed a stop point, hence the creaking. I'm thinking it's on the drivers side and is either the mode or defrost mode door. I'm praying it's not the one behind the dash on top of the heater box. Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated since I'm going to tackle this project in the next week.

Is it just no heat, or are you having no air flow? No air means a blockage or a door problem. Plenty of air and no heat is related to the heater core. I bet you have some air trapped in there somewhere. Try to manually purge it out by pouring coolant into the heater core directly to try to remove any trapped air. See if that helps any.

I'm not sure how a second gen system works because I haven't been into one. Take out the glove box and see if you can visually see the doors moving from the outside. If the stuff on the outside is moving but your airflow does not change, then your doors on the inside are broken.

The factory actuators are extremely reliable and I personally don't replace them. If you decide you want new ones, only get OEM ones from the dealership. The aftermarket ones are much weaker and don't last long. There's not much else in there to replace. Just clean out all of the dirt and debris from inside the box before you put it back together.

The heat only on the passenger side could be the heater core is half clogged up. What i did when my 03 Ram had that problem was backflush the heater core and then put the hoses back on the heater core opposite from what it was, meaning the hose that was on the top, put on the bottom of the heater core and vice versa for the other hose so the flow will be backwards in the heater core. Been having 140 degree heat on both sides for 4 years since i did it to my truck. The fan only working on high is the blower motor resistor next to the fan is bad, about a $30 part.

So in most cases chances are if its a broken door or broken door actuator weather it be a blend door , re-circulation/outside air door , ...etc your having to completely remove the whole unit. This is the equivalent to doing a whole engine overhaul analogy for the hvac car guy. Probably the most difficult part of car ac work is replacing heater cores, evaporators , or doors/door actuators.

TY for the type of door explanation. I have a 2002 Ram 1500 and the plenum looks similar to the one in this video. The issue is the passenger side blows toasty air while the driver side blows mildly warm air, at best. All vents (defrost, front, and floor) show the same temperature difference. Cold air is not an issue since all vents and both sides blow ice cold air. Based on this video, there are 5 doors. Recirc, 2 Blend doors, Mode 1 and Mode 2. Can I safely assume the blend doors are the issue here? Winters in Austin, Texas are mild and so I have postponed fixing it for 3 Winters, LOL. I have not taken a single screw out so I am just in the mental troubleshooting phase. TY

It sounds to me like one side of your upper and lower blend doors isn't sealing completely, which would allow some airflow to bypass the heater core. It's impossible to check in the truck unless you have some sort of viewing scope and go backward through the vents.

I have a 2012 2500 with this exact problem. I have no issue with cold air. When full heat, driver side is not as hot and less air flow. I have a single zone system, so my guess is that my first blend door driver side is broken/stuck in the down position? After the air runs through the heater core, are the channels separate through all the modes? Can the dual doors break in the center?

Awesome! Any rattling in the dash now? I recently replaced my heater core, but skipped this step, and now I get rattling at low RPM. Wasn’t sure if it was because I didn’t replace the foam, or if I didn’t re-secure the core to the insulation. I’m gonna pull it apart 1 more time, and want to get it right. Thanks again!

Anything that you left loose could cause a rattle. I do not have any rattling in my truck after I did this. You need to wiggle everything as you take it apart and see what's loose.

Are the after market evaporator cores just as good as oem? Thanks for the video . just curious on the after market cause it's way cheaper than the 300 $ dodge one vs 100$. is this a common problem?
@flopster843
@flopster843 7 жыл бұрын
I have yet to find any higher quality evaporator cores. Everything is made overseas and is comparable quality wise. I don't feel like you should have to pay a higher price for the same mediocre quality. If you find an American made evaporator, I'd love to hear about it.

Lol I understand that . I was just worried about getting what you pay for saying . I just want to tear it apart one once . it's sad that my 94 c1500 will hang meat and only thing I've ever done is replace compressor cause of the case leaking on the r4 compressor. thanks for the reply ! makes me feel better buying the 100$ core vs the high dollar one

If your lucky the door actuator is easy to access and the door flaps are not the issue. (or maybe a bad electrical connection in an easy accessible area ) Other then that you have to be as good as this guy in pulling off the whole hvac unit underdash.

I just took apart my dash to get into the hvac system. have a few problems. no heat and smells like anit freeze when I turn AC on. once I took apart the dash I noticed where it's spilling. I was wondering if you know a if they sell a complete kit to replace everything? any recommendations? it's a 2003 dodge ram 1500.
@flopster843
@flopster843 7 жыл бұрын
There are no full kits to replace everything. I suggest getting a full door kit Blend Door USA and going to your local parts store and ordering a new evaporator and heater core. This will replace nearly everything in the box while the dash is out.
