A/C Service for Dodge B350

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge B350 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1986 Dodge. Bring your Dodge B350 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1986 Dodge B350’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge B350 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Dodge B350

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1986 Dodge B350, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1986 Dodge B350 A/C recharges.

Common Dodge B350 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge B350 A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1986 Dodge B350? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your B350 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1986 Dodge B350 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my B350 air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my B350 A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your B350’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my B350 A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your B350 does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What can cause the A/C in my B350 to smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your B350 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my B350’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your B350 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
