A/C Service for Dodge D350

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge D350 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1988 Dodge D350 A/C systems. Bring your Dodge D350 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Dodge D350 A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge D350 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your D350

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1988 Dodge D350, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Dodge's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1988 Dodge D350 A/C recharges.

Other Dodge D350 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge D350 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 1988 Dodge D350? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your D350.

1988 Dodge D350 A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my D350 air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why do I get hot air from my D350 A/C? 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 D350’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does running the A/C in my D350 use gasoline? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your D350.
  • What can cause the A/C in my D350 to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your D350 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my D350’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your D350 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
