this was a hack job...just remove the resistor pack and spray to evap core through that hole using microchannel safe cleaner. I have had good results using the venom pack brand condenser cleaner yellow label, its no rinse...do it more than once if filthy..spraying into the condenser from the front just pushes the sand further in (what really blocks it) but removes the bugs that block very little. over filling your ac system to the point liquid is returned to the compressor does not make your ac colder, in fact it makes it less efficient and can damage the compressor internally...fill by weight measurements only.
Just some helpful advice for when you're cleaning your next condenser coils at the front of a ram there are 410 mm head sized bolts holding that front upper grill in place once those four bolts are removed. Just simply pull back the same as if you were taking out the centre of the dash in the vehicle. There's just a few body clips made of plastic that hold the upper grill in place once the bolts are removed then you'll be able to game better access if need be with your garden hose to spray down the AC condenser coils in order to optimize your air condition, efficiency. I'll have to check my inside AC evaporator to make sure it's not clogged because I've never checked it but I have changed my cabin air filter. I currently have 112,000 mikes or 180,000 km in CANADIAN on my vehicle. My air conditioning seems to run perfectly fine, but it wouldn't show its face right away if everything was dirty, so I might not even be noticing it.. thanks again for the helpful tips.
I did same exact thing on my service truck and its perfect my truck didnt come with a filter so it gets plugged up all the time and all the other trucks in the fleet also did not come with one from ford too rams its not a havk job its an acess port 😂 its so simple now too wash them our company is a landfill so we have tons of dirt in cabs all the time and ppl leaving windows down too ao this is a fix rather do this than tear out a evap for 3 days every 4 months i dont have thag kind of time
would this cause overheating when AC is running only on IDLE?? Got the same truck and weak airflow comes and goes sometimes flows good then out of nowhere flows very weak and when trucks in IDLE with AC on tends to overheat up to 217
First thing TAKE OUT THE KEY!!! The dinging is driving me crazy, Second if you are a professional HVAC guy I am tossing my license in the trash, Beer can cold is not an approved method to charge any refrigeration system. On a vehicle putting a thermometer in the vent would be better than that, but proper gauge pressures, with superheat and subcool are the right way to ensure charge. At the very least spend some time on HVAC School here on CZcams. Also did a rabid badger chew those holes in the duct??

You can use a 10mm and remove the grill it will make cleaning the front a whole easier

Great video I'll be doing something similar these weekend
wow, nothing like a ripped up jagged hole in the front of the A/C plenum......next owner will be cursing you....
High miles!
Could you reach the heater core with this method
Thnks bro 😎 im good know

What hack job. Get the tools to cleanly do this job or don’t do the job. Great example of how not to do it.
Holy shit.........I'm not mad I'm just disappointed. Hopefully nobody does this. This is a Laramie too lmao
Why have it dinging the whole time. Seriously. Thanks for the vid though.

So you are a professional ?
Or you can take the 10 minutes and remove the dash. You don't have to destroy anything
"Beer can cold" stop being so technical dude, put it in layman's terms please!
I would be ashamed to post that video
