#306 of 315 Re: dodge AC air circulation problem solution [buddyruff] by sehrnst Nov 09, 2009 (5:12 pm)
Replying to: buddyruff (Nov 09, 2009 11:40 am) Buddyruff, at the time I posted the fix, I did not know the purpose of the door. Now I do. It is used to close off outside air mix in order to heat or cool the cab faster. It can also be used to keep the cab cooler in extreme heat like Florida. Since I have removed the door, I have noticed no difference other than the air REALLY blows now! Could be I was just used the anemic air flow when the door was broken and laying over the fan. Thanx for posting. The administrator has informed me that this has been posted before, but it must have been awhile ago. Also, Dodge is supposed to know about it as they have a repair bulletin out. My dealer didn't seem to know the easy fix and wanted $700 to look into it. Benchmark of Birmingham. They should really be just pulling those doors out for people.

Replying to: sehrnst (Oct 26, 2009 3:52 pm) Hey Stevo--Buddyruff here...I did take the recirc door off and air blows out great..Now the problem is it only comes out the vent--hot; cold is fine just out the vents with very little out the floor and none out the defrost..I turn the switch to eacj location and it still just comes out the vent...Is there something else now wrong??? By NOT replacing the recirc. door; did that mess it all up or create a new problem?? As winter is approaching I need to get his fixed...any ideas??? Thanks !!

#309 of 315 recirculation door by sehrnst Nov 21, 2009 (4:58 pm)
Buddyruff, I believe there may be some other issue with your truck. The door only controls the recirculation choice. All of the other selections: defrost, floor, etc., should work normally. On the defrost, it doesn't normally blow hard up there, so it may seem like it's not working. By removing the recirc door, you would not effect the other functions of the climate system, only the ability to close off the outside air. Most people who remove it, find the air blows even harder than original. You may be correct about some change to the defrost and floor does happen when the door is off. At least, you have good circ thru the vents now. There may be another door between the defrost and floor. If it is of the same quality as the recirc door, it could break off as well. Hope this helps.

Replying to: buddyruff (Nov 21, 2009 1:19 pm) Sounds like a vacume leak to the control doors. It could be anywhere from under the hood to in the control knob area. That is what I would eliminate before looking for anything else.
#311 of 315 Fan Speed Controller-only works on highest setting by dodger16 Nov 26, 2009 (7:27 pm)
I've begun to take apart the dash panels to find the broken blend doors and realize I'd better get this fan speed problem tackled at the same time. For the fan to run, I have to turn the dial completely to the right. There are no intermediate fan speeds in operation. How do I troubleshoot/fix that problem?
#312 of 315 fan speed problem by sehrnst Nov 27, 2009 (7:37 am)
The recirculation/fresh air blend door is broken off and is blocking the airflow of your fan. Remove the 3 screws holding the fan on (floor, pass side), reach in to the left and fish door out by moving it around until it can get thru the opening. You don't need this door really, so don't replace it. Stevo

#314 of 315 Replacing Evaporator and Heater Core.... by danielmove Nov 30, 2009 (10:37 am)
adme014 It took me 2 days to complete the job start to finish. I am sure I could do it in one now that I have been through it. The toughest part for me was getting the heater hoses back on to the core. I had to lay a pad across the top of the engine and lay across the the engine bay in order to get my hands back to the clamps next to the firewall. Be sure to locate the hidden bolt behind the square computer fixture screwed to the firewall on the engine bay side. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Daniel B.
