How to: Change a Heater core of a Dodge Ram 2ndgen 1500 / 2500 / 3500 1994-2002

First of all we would like to wish you a Happy New Year!
That all your dreams may come true and that we all stay safe and healthy.
During these cold months it wasn’t hard to notice that the heater of the truck wouldn’t warm-up. So time to change it, so we can survive the winter!
As many of you know we still have a full time job next to Absolute Rebuilds. Next to that we want to keep our videos interesting with these huge builds, so we changed our upload frequency to every Thursday!
Hopefully you would understand and keeping supporting Absolute Rebuilds

Bad ass camera operator. Super good operator. Well done camera man. Thank you.

[@_trucklife]

With only missing an info an removing the shifter-position indicator wire, this was one of the best, cleanest and completest HC replacements ive ever seen on video!

[@imodium9822]

I sifted through many bad tutorials for this and then I find your video right at the end of my project, thanks for doing a proper video on this.

[@cookinitmax]

Hi everyone very important very important. Before you remove the brackets under steering wheel column to drop make sure make sure to remove shifter wire adjustment line wire or you can break it's right under the column heads up on this. I noticed on removal of dash this wasn't included your welcome.

[@brandonloy7325]

Great video, much more clear and concise than most others out there.

[@claytonhornsby6258]

One of the best instruction vids I've ever seen, Low on verbiage and big on showing how...Subscribed!!

[@littlewhiteranger]

Pretty damn decent! I'm a little more confident In tearing my dash out now. Thanks for the vid man.

[@SouthWestIron]

I've got a 97 2500 and no way in heck it goes in that easy. Different fire wall on that rig.

[@charleswaybright7144]

I have a 99 with v10, any idea on how to remove heater hoses from the firewall? It looks bad because you can't see them. My son has same truck with 5.9 and it doesn't look that bad. Thank you for any information.

[@SouthWestIron]

I did this repair recently. What I ended up doing was using a sawmill and cutting the metal pipes on the old one if that makes sense. My dash was also trash so it turn out to be easier than I thought. @@charleswaybright7144

[@ShouldBeMe2]

You make it look so easy, Thanks

[@mspkjp]

Very good video with all the details needed. Thank you!

[@AbsoluteRebuilds]

thanks! 🙏

[@geraldbasford6713]

Greetings from the napa valley. Great video there is no way to short cut this job thanks millions

[@rondellschuyler7074]

Good job ! Do a video on replacing a heater core in a 2012 Chrysler 200

[@shaunhardy6510]

Great Video! Your accent reminds me of Borat! I love your video… it very nice!

[@grasscutter88]

Can't you do it without removing the dash? Usually you crack the dash removing it due to age if it's not cracked already.

[@Paulandthefamily]

Great video! Thanks so much!

[@DMACHOLMAN]

Oh my gosh you don't have any comments in the comment section I'll be first. I just did this install my self the dashboard was all busted up . I got the heater core in after several tries . Now I need to address the broken dash . I purchased a new dash cap from LMC Truck here in the U.S. it was far superior to the factory one. And the dash bezel was replaced as well. I stumbled across your video by accident. Hopefully they will come up more often. Thanks for your video help...

[@AbsoluteRebuilds]

Oh I really need a dash as well! I live in the Netherlands, so shipping costs are killing...

[@DMACHOLMAN]

@@AbsoluteRebuilds Greetings from Texas. And I just want to say you live in one of the most beautiful country on earth. And all of the parts that you may be needing to replace are well stocked by LMC truck their on the web @ www.LMCTruck.com you can request a catalog for your truck they'll send it to you free of charge. I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 with the V10

[@joedarden2276]

Outstanding

[@hall1075]

Excellent video

[@actionjoejackson9880]

Great video I have a 2001 ram that I have to do thanks 🙏🏼

[@AbsoluteRebuilds]

Sorry for my late reply! Let me know if you need any assistance

[@radmilakrejci8581]

great video, how many hours did it take you? thanks

[@ericnorton4045]

Watched several videos yours was the 👌

[@johnbartholomew2381]

Rock solid

[@ThePrayerFocus]

Can't seem to figure out how to get the heater core lines in through the firewall into the engine compartment

[@Highflier666]

Nice video. Remember to unhook the battery and airbags?

[@dillonfloyd5508]

How much would u charge for a job like this

[@bempierre]

My dash on top is all cracked too like this one, is that all one piece or can you separate to replace

[@richard1835]

Is the evaporator core in the same box as the heater core. Thank you

[@rayfalcon777]

#AbsoluteRebuilds Can you please Do a video on this truck showing the complete removal of the whole dash assembly to get the heater and ac blower box assembly out of the truck? I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 Laramie slt st with 8 ft bed and a 5.2 engine and 4x4 drive the previous owner cut most of the ac stuff out i want to put it back and he had someone " temporarily fix " heat to only goto the defroster i can find anything wrong with it in the truck so i have to pull the whole dash to get the heater box out??

[@bobbazata1161]

On my 2001 2500 Cummins a broken vacuum line caused defrost only

[@johnnygavita]

Now would have been a good time to replace the dash

[@edsongonzalez7655]

My 2001 doesn’t have any screws at dash and windshield

[@edsongonzalez7655]

Still won’t come out

[@braveheart2785]

Did you see the dash break?

[@jeffrojefferson]

The dash in these years all crack ,Dodge used a defective plastic ,customers sued them and lost ! Big money lawyers Chrysler Corp. I have a 2001 it SUCKS , total crap and PIA ,heater core, a/c EVAPORATOR ,great truck 5.2 DUMB CRAP in some of DODGE design , makes mechanics shop labor $$$$$$$ for what should be simply replacement of key parts

[@christianvega3716]

Do u have to discharge ac to be able to change heater core?

[@tristanhossack2206]

Not unless you are changing your evaporator as well

[@johnmoya9229]

I see those propane injectors.

[@williammorris3303]

Dodge should be ashamed that the dashes all disintegrated and give us all freee toppers

[@vladimircharpentier7304]

All that just to replace a heater core

[@outboardprsnlstndup]

Really helpful, thank you!
