You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Dodge Power Ram 50?" 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 Power Ram 50 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Let's say we repair your 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C recharges.

Other Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Power Ram 50.

Questions About 1986 Dodge Power Ram 50 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Power Ram 50 air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Power Ram 50 A/C? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • 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 Power Ram 50’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Power Ram 50 A/C use gas? 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 Power Ram 50.
  • My Power Ram 50’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Power Ram 50 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Power Ram 50’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Power Ram 50 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Power Ram 50’s A/C repaired? When you need your Power Ram 50 air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
