2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Heater Core Removal

[@FranklinDelanoDonut]

Another wonderful design by some engineer that doesn't need to ever work on it themselves. I swear if they had to they'd make it easier for the average person to do it

[@matthewkohl5970]

You tore that down like a boss. Take no shit from the cars you work on. Show em who's boss. Good job 👍

I also have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. 152,000 miles. Same heater core issue. Little heat output & also leaks. Too much work for this guy. I'm a skilled operator, not a skilled mechanic like you are. Watched the whole video, too. Thanks for the share guys, Great work !!

Good work , great passion !

I wonder if theresbaj easier way, cutting through the firewall to slide it out. I found one of these trucks for cheap, but the heater core is out of it. I do not have the tools to evacuate the air conditioning.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

Go check with your local repair shop and ask them to recover it for you. I have recovered R134a for people who want to do there own work before and recharged it. They will charge you for this service. Then you won't be letting it out in to the air.

Just replace heater core and now my truck has no power beside the driver seat has power. Any idea on how to fix this?

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

See if you unplugged the steering column wiring

[@GinoBrown]

@TheGAutomotiveAndMore I have that connected

[@GinoBrown]

I am really lost. I literally followed every step, didn't pinch any wires and now the car is completely dead beside the seat adjustment. No dome light, no chime, no lock/unlock, no dashboard power. No nothing.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

@@GinoBrown start look around for sometime you left unplugged.

How much would be the approximate cost of labor?

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

I do not remember.

[@leequeenmusic6973]

How many hours did it take total to complete this job. Thanks for the video.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

7 hours

[@DavidJohnson-no9jd]

Well. Looks like im gonna be going without heat in my truck this winter. Probably next winter too. 🤣 I definitely don't have the patience to do it myself and too poor to have a shop fix it for me. 🤣 2003 1500 4wd hardly any heat at all coming thru. Was 25° this morning on my way to work.

[@angelmarquez1977]

Im having the same problem 😪😪

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

This was not as hard as some of the other cars and trucks that I have done in the past. I thought this one was pretty easy.

[@DavidJohnson-no9jd]

What would a shop usually charge for that? I work 6 days a week 10 hours a day so I could have 1 day without my truck but if I do it myself it's definitely not getting done in one day.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

@@DavidJohnson-no9jd I do not do the pricing. but a lot

[@ninayuan9703]

Nice job!

[@ellisjacobs5011]

No clue why they unhooked the ac.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

To remove the box you have to disconnect the A/C lines.

[@DurinThe_Deathless]

is this the same on a 2004 with the 5.7 Hemi?

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

2002 thru 2008 is the third generation RAM and should be the same or very similar

[@timothybutler9859]

OH THE HELL WITH IT!!! I OWN AN 03 1500 AND I'M JUST GOING TO CUT THE HEATER HOSES AND SPLICE THEM TOGETHER ON MINE!!

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

This one was really not that hard. I have done other heater cores in other cars and trucks that were a total pain. Thanks for watching

[@jeremyTallen1]

I have done some that are equally as difficult or at least as difficult. Why in the world would they design it that way way? Is it to much to ask to just make it so you can remove your glove box and it be right there.

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

I do not know why. But this one came apart pretty straight forward. Thanks for watching

[@bernardotrejo1852]

It looks like a 2 weekend project because I'm not a mechanic, but i will give it a shoot

[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

I was surprised that this was not as hard as some of the other ones I have done.
