[@mygirl03]

I've watch alot of instructional videos on KZbin in my time and I've got to say you sir, by far, are the best. Clear and concise, and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thank you Leonel. I appreciate the feedback and kind words.....its means alot.

[@lesstech74]

Watched all four parts. Excellent instruction. Appreciate it!

[@aaronpeters3167]

total agreement

[@jasonevans4695]

I’m trying to figure out why I have cold air blow out the vents and switching between different vents work but when I switch to heat all air flow stops(no cold or hot) out of any vents. Only other issue I’ve had is mice. Just doesn’t make sense all vents blow fine on cold but no flow at all on hot. And blend door is raising and lowering in main part of ac box

[@a_stacey_5055]

Thank you so much for these videos! Just finished up my 2013 Ram (took about 5.5 hours) and you saved me well over $2k! Thank you again!

[@billturner1960]

I know it's been awhile since you posted this video series but I had to let you know that far and away, this is the very best presentation ever to show in detail the steps needed to dig into this series of Ram trucks. The efforts you've made to facilitate a great video with great photography, great lighting and of course your narrative as you execute these videos is absolutely unsurpassed. Your presentations have been a HUGE help to me and I'm assuming the rest of the community in allowing us to understand and deal with the processes when it comes to dealing with these vehicles. Thank you for your efforts and please keep up the stellar work!! Much appreciated!! 😎👍

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks for noticing the small details that I try to work hard on to include

[@teamscarystutorialsgamepla9909]

@@MotorCityMechanic I agree. I got quoted 5-6 hours and parts and decided to do it myself. Taking out my dash today in my 09. If it was for your video I wouldn’t be doing it.

[@HisNameIsTater]

My man! Thank you so much for this series. Extremely well laid out. I'm tearing my mega cab apart today because the dealer quoted me 8 hours. This is one of the most clear and concise repair videos I've ever seen.

[@mikejennings7358]

I have a mega cab that I’m about to tackle too….was removing the center console pretty simple?

[@kenfleischman4330]

You explain everything in detail making it seem very easy to replace the evaporator coil, even your repeating where the bolts are located is very helpful. This is by far the best video I have ever watched explaining a repair. Thank you

[@rickflanders1362]

changed heater core with no problems could not don it without videos thank you Dave

[@jakekerr1189]

I have been looking for this video for like 2 years. Finally found it!

[@justanoob7030]

Finally someone who can use simple English and clear videos of exact bolt locations and process of removal. Thank you! This video was awesome!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I am glad that it came across in the video. Its what I have been working to show people. Appreciate you noticing the simple things that the hard work goes into. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.

[@VINCESPENCER]

One of the best videos I've ever watched. THANK YOU!

[@suprtrucker7486]

This 4 part instructional video is all anyone would need to change a heater core or evaporator. Hands down the best instructions a person could ask for. I know its 8yrs ago, but thank you, sir, for the work you put into making these.

[@jonnyminck6441]

Thanks for the great 4 step video! Made it 10x easier to get it changed out and saved $1800 that the dealer wanted. I’d of paid to get it done but not that much. It was actually an easy job. Got it all apart and replaced in 2 hrs. Putting it back all together tomorrow after work! Thanks.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Ouch....thats crazy money.....I figure it should be close to $1000....not $1800! Glad to see that you knew better and chose todo some research and ended up at my video. Its not a hard job as you saw.....easy money for us techs. Make sure to subscribe and make sure those brake lights work when done.

[@tomfrantz]

I cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH! You are the best teacher, video maker and mechanic. I totally totally watched all 4 videos and made my 2014 RAM 3500 Chassis cab perfect. As you said, mine had a few rear-connectors-very easy with your excellent video DAVID!!!!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks man! I appreciate the kind words and for you watching all parts of the series.

[@justmy2abelincolns272]

I cannot express how much I appreciate this video as our shop is doing this job for the first time on a 2012 Ram 1500 extended cab. It helped immensely. He had the core box out within an hour and a half and he was delighted. He's 56 and has been doing this for almost 30 years, and he has always dreaded dash board removals. And you were right, those clips always break on the blend door. Excellent instruction and I appreciate the repetition, it does help. He seemed annoyed I made him sit through all 4 videos but he sure as hell is happy now. THANK YOU!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Its always cool to hear from people that find the video and how the repair goes. I can just imagine how it went when you had him sit down and watch. Must people dread a dash job so much that they dont want to hear anything about it let alone watch someone tell them in a video. I too dread this type of work on some vehicles. Not my favorite job but on the trucks its very easy. A few more and he will be able to have it out and in around the the 1 1/2 mark. Thanks for using the video and for letting me know how it went. Its always appreciated. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos as well.

[@hatersaywhat8986]

Thank you….. just thank you! I literally just watched a video of a guy taking the entire facia off the front of dash, then stereo, HVAC controls, then dash…. Seemed to be a month of work just to get the dash off not to mention putting it all back.

[@Deaconberry]

That was an incredible series of videos. Very talented mechanic and teacher.

[@slipshft1]

I have to say that this has been the best how-to video series that I have subscribed to. Very clear, very practical, and as others have said easy to follow. I had to replace my heater core, and found all the thing that the dealership screwed up when they changed my evap core; smashed connectors (that were hard to find), missing bolts, ducting that was cut. I replaced my heater blender box while I had it out. Thanks to your video I also rerouted the blower wiring back to where it should be instead of hanging down the front of the blower. The video might be old, but it helped me tremendously! Thanks again for your knowledge!

[@TrevorCazes]

i know this is an old video but man. motorcity mechanic yall absolutely set the bar back in 2015 with this entire video series.

[@mattbirch93]

Dude, your videos are the best on KZbin.

[@jamiehattum8298]

What an excellent set of instructional videos!!!! Thanks for making everything go so much easier!!!!

[@canecorso6599]

Thats a man that knows his craft. Im left without any questions! That was as good as an instructional video can get. Awesome job Dude.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Many thanks for the great feedback and for the kind words. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.

[@cmonbobby]

You make the best videos by far!

[@willn69]

I couldn't figure out why the driver side wasn't coming loose until i watched your video showing the 2 little bolts under the steering column. Thank you for the video. Very helpful

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome and thanks for watching. Glad you got it figured out and that the video helped. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

[@carlroediger4195]

Best instructional video I've watched. So much so I left a comment and I never leave comments. Well done man!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

That means a lot…..sometimes it’s just a simple comment that keeps you motivated and wanting to make more videos

[@user-fd8ds3rj8t]

Yessir, you are exceptional with your hands. I very much enjoyed the step by step process that you explained very well. I viewed all four steps and learned gain and immense knowledge of the A/C system on my truck. Thank you!!!

[@willrodriguez5278]

Badass bro. Followed step by step and I am very pleased. 2010 2500 5.7 with buckets and console. Video was a huge help!!!!

[@glenndriver8577]

I have a 2014 RAM 2500 6.7L Laramie with center console. Everything came apart exactly per parts 1-4 plus the video regarding Geno's Garage cabin filter kit. I also had to pull the seats and carpet for a deep clean due to coolant spillage from a failed heater core. One thing I'd like to add is that when I came back to review part four prior to removing the air box assembly, by some miracle I found another video of how you can split the airbox and replace the heater core without having to discharge and remove the evaporator. It also worked as shown and saved me the added time and expense of servicing the a/c system which was functioning normally. Great video sir, I thank you.

[@waynedaniels7091]

Great job making this video. Clear and concise. I watched at 1.5x speed but only for time purposes. Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

What ever it takes! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching and for the comment

[@yousifalhussaini8277]

This is the best video I have ever watched. Well done indeed and many, many thanks

[@mikeofthemountain]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Given me the courage to jump in and tackle on my 2012 Ram. Thanks a million.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Take your time as I always say and it should go well. Just double check that the brake lights work afterwards so that we know that the brake pedal switch is okay. Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Make sure to subscribe!

[@lou704]

Outstanding! You're the man David.

[@fz1bureau]

As usual another impecable series of videos. Love what you do and how you do it.

[@WorldOfCrackBerry]

Thank you so very much for this series of videos. I'm a heavy duty mechanic so I don't deal with the automotive side very much. I'm in the middle of changing my heater core and thanks to your video I'm now ready to put it back together without having broken anything. Your videos are very clear, to the point and very easy to follow. Keep up the good work!

[@mikeZinck]

Did a heater core today in a 13 1500 followed your videos and worked perfect just had to figure out the center console myself. Tha nks a million!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome and thanks for letting me know how it turned out. Enjoy the weekend!

[@jmorrell1990]

mikeZinck what’s the procedure for removing the center console???

[@typete01]

Excellent series!

[@thedirtybomb19]

Your baddass man! Love the video, super helpful. Like Henry Ford said "If you think you can, or think you can't, your right"

[@z28narrowcamaro]

I wasn't going to attempt to change the heater core on my truck on my own but after seeing your excellent videos you've made I'm going too ! Thanks for the really good work in explaining everything ! Please keep on making more Ram repair videos because I know I'll be needing em with my truck !

[@pappymckown]

2012 Ram 1500. My OBD message was Evaporator small leak, vehicle drivable, service is required. Outstanding 4 part video. This process is expertly described in the video.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

That code has to do with the evaporative emissions system and not the ac evaporator. They are not related to each other

[@rolandogarcia3138]

Thank you so much for taking the time and filling each step!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome Rolando and thanks for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.

[@galbensohar3724]

Man you saved me a-lot of time and money.🙏 I follow every step and it was straight forward. I have a center console so it took me maybe 20 min more. Don’t be afraid of doing it yourself it’s easy, specially with those videos.

[@cireeksad2126]

Great job!!! Great instructor!!

[@billrimmer5596]

Dang, that was good! That was my lunch time entertainment/instruction. Mopar hero!!!! Funny to watch that leaky impact.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Always happy to entertain Bill! lol. Yeah that impact hasnt been touched in about a year now that I have gone mainly cordless.

[@suhplikeyt5223]

Excellent video, I really loved the Korn in the background.

[@carlleague3036]

OMG this was so helpful! My recirc / blend doors are jacked...shop wants 3K to remove dash and fix. I think Ill save just a little bit of money due to your video. Lol. Thank you!!!

[@TonyNanni]

best instruction I have ever seen on youtube. Loved the part about not damaging the door panel with the studs. That is excellent info. The detail is amazing and it shows exactly which fasteners and harnesses have to be undone so you don't take more apart than you need to.

[@TreyTrey2129]

Very well put together and explained for us non-mechanics. Very easy to follow and hope to see more like this.

In Belize you have to have a great air conditioner running here in the heat & humidity of Belize! I’m going back to my junkyard mechanic in Central America and hand him a few beers & a $50tip! Ps…this backyard mechanic works in the open air on a dirt yard and gave me a 90 day warranty to make sure the air conditioner works 100% & …No Squeaks or Rattles are coming from the Dash! I really appreciate the time & effort you did to make this video so I can understand the effort it is to keep equipment up and running! ThankYou for sharing Your Knowledge!
