A/C Service for Dodge Ram 2500

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Ram 2500 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 A/C systems. Steer your Dodge Ram 2500 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500’s 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 Ram 2500 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.

A/C Recharge for Dodge Ram 2500

While your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Ram 2500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Ram 2500 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500? 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 Ram 2500.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Ram 2500 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 is my Ram 2500 A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Ram 2500’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my Ram 2500 A/C run on gas? Your Ram 2500’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does the A/C in my Ram 2500 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 Ram 2500 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Ram 2500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Ram 2500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
  • Where can I get my Ram 2500’s A/C repaired? When you need your Ram 2500 air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
