A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Ram 3500

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Ram 3500 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Dodge vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1999 Dodge. Steer your Dodge Ram 3500 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Dodge Ram 3500 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.

Ram 3500 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Dodge's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Dodge Ram 3500 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Ram 3500 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1999 Dodge Ram 3500? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Ram 3500 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Ram 3500 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 Ram 3500 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? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Ram 3500's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my Ram 3500 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 Ram 3500.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Ram 3500 smells like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Ram 3500 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Ram 3500’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your Ram 3500’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
