A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Ram 3500 Van

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 wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Dodge Ram 3500 Van?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2000 Dodge. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Ram 3500 Van

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Ram 3500 Van A/C system that can 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 3500 Van

While your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van’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. Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Ram 3500 Van A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Ram 3500 Van A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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. And smelly A/C in a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Ram 3500 Van.

Questions About 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Van A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Ram 3500 Van air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my Ram 3500 Van A/C put out warm 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system 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 Ram 3500 Van’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Ram 3500 Van A/C run on gas? Your Ram 3500 Van’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 my Ram 3500 Van have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Ram 3500 Van 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.
  • What is causing my Ram 3500 Van’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 3500 Van is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
