I fixed my AC re-circ door for free. Just dropped the fan motor down from underneath the passenger side dash. Take out 3 screws and it drops down. Then just reach up in there and grab the door which is laying across the AC outflow. You have to clip some little plastic pieces with some wire cutters in order to remove the door. You will be permanent re-circulated air with this fix, but I am usually always on re-circulated air anyways. Plus like I said, it was free and maybe took 15 mins. I can't believe how simple the fix was and how long I suffered with no AC.
On my 97 the door you mention has a dual function. When it swings to cover the recirc hole then it opens the fresh air hole in the plenum. When it swings back to cover the fresh air hole it opens the recirc hole. So if the door is missing the plenum is taking in both fresh air and recirc air from inside the cab. Maybe yours is different?
I did the same for removal of mine. I used jb weld to fix it the first time because they didnt have a better part than factory and the heater treated doors weren't cheap either. The jb weld held for several years but eventually failed. Dorman finally started making a good replacement with a metal insert rather than plastic. I used it and have had no issues. This repair really isn't that difficult.
On the Rancho Quick lift, I installed those on my 2011 Ram for the clearance for my snow plow. I would recommend removing the allen screw on the adjustment knobs and just adding a little bit more grease on them. I saw this on someone else's video. When I pulled the adjuster knobs off, I was surprised at just how little grease was in actually in them...not very much at all. This is going on the second year of them being installed on the truck and they still adjust as the day I installed them. So save yourself a headache later and take the adjuster knobs off and add a little bit more grease to keep moisture and rust out and keep them moving freely.
@@DorianMariusGray I'm not sure. It's been a while since I was researching that but I remember concluding that the ABS modules fail. You also want to verify nothing is wrong with the wires on the pins inside the plug connectors.
Dealer told me that that may be why I'm getting different codes coming up...Power train codes, transmission and abs codes. Before I spend $1000 for a TIPM, I'm going to check for damaged wires from friggin mice and chipmunks chewing on wires, since I live in the country and the truck set for 3 months when it broke an intake valve spring and valve guide. I even had a squirrel starting to make a nest on top of the battery.
If you use that one piece dash cover you can forget about ever replacing a heater core or evaporator. You will never be able to get to the screws along the windshield to remove the dash.
I am a proud Dodge owner. Good video. But with all showes like this. Lots of plugs 4 products to sell. I fixed my broken blend door for 10 cents. I just st screwed to to the housing. Watch you tube. On how. I just bought a new tail light strip. And my 2500 W/Hemi is not having steering box issues. But gust had 4 new Monroe shocks installed after 12 years of good svc. Out of factory ones. Good truck!!
here in california i as a retired marine veteran can use the facilities on base. they have work bays complete with lifts that i can rent so i can do whatever repairs myself.
Wow, soooooooo many ads and plugs to companies. Only a few issues talked about. I happen to be a ram person and know they have a bunch more common issues. The heat/ac was good info as was the suspension support, but the headlights and taillight issues are common in most older vehicles because they don't have glass lenses.
Excellent video. I love my 2006 5.9 Cummins but the front end steering is garbage. It probably doesn't help running 35s, so I upgraded to the 2008+ T-style steering plus the Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer. It seemed good to go at first until it wasn't, everything still seemed to loose under there. But now I know I need to get a steering box brace.
In both of my 2007 3500s I put Synergy Steering with EMF ends. Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer, 6 bolt box, 2013 power steering pump, thuren coils, Thuren track bars. Now the trucks drive better than anything else. Oh ya also the EMF balljoints.
If they covered the common problems with the dodge rams(I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel) it would be a 12 hours 3 day show!!! Beds rot, front ends have to be rebuilt, dash cracking, blend doors breaking, wiring in the rear doors breaking, death wobble.....the list goes on n on. I know cause I’ve literally had all this issues and problems. Fixed or replaced all these components, currently dealing with blend door now, and of course its winter time here in good old PA!
Don't forget ball joints multiple transmission issues 5.7 cam and lifters wiping out or 4.7 oiling and exhaust issues oh yeah and if you live in any area without desert weather body rot . its tough being a mopar guy especially when the tools that design these things aren't !
Is that same heater issue with 1999 Second gen Dodge Rams and also is the bump steer reinforcement kit available for the 1999 Second Gen Dodge Ram, lastly is the track bar available for the 1999 Second Gen Dodge Ram. Asking cause I found a decent 1999 Ram.
The Heater Treater doors look better than they did back in `09 when I brought the kit for my `04. 10 years later they are still working! I made smaller holes in my hvac box than recomended and sealed them up a bit better than instructed as well. Pulling the entire dash out is a pain, but well worth not having to evac the system or paying over a grand to have the dealership fiix it with the same crappy factory parts!
I was able to solve a nasty problem with my Dakota...BUT FIRST, I WANNA TALK TO YOU ALL ABOUT GREASE GRIP MAGIC FORMULA, THE TOOL TREATMENT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!!
HEY GUYS THANKS FOR TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE VIDEOS,.I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MY TRUCK RAM 3500 CUMMINS 24 VALVE TURBO DIESEL MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE 5.9 ,.MY QUESTION IS IF THE TREATMENT Z_MAX WORKS THIS DIESEL TRUCK ??
The dash cover is gross. Just replace the dash top. That stupid cover doesn't fit for shit, it rattles and just looks terrible. Its not that hard to replace it the right way. I thought this was about common Dodge problems? Bump steer is a common 4x4 issue. All automanufatures have light issues when you break the light. SMDH This was just an infomercial.
I love my '07 Ram. Only problem I've had so far is the cv joint came disconnected today while i was driving. Thankfully it still drove okay and i was able to get home safely!!!
2000 Dodge Ram 1500 it leaks all the water what seems to be coming out the bottom next to trans. It not a hose the is a piece of metal that is rusted off. Would this be an expensive fix?
Before paying for or diving into a blend door replacement make sure your A/C is fully charged. I had cold air on the driver side and warm air on the passenger side. After recharging the A/C system both sides are cold. 2004 2500 Laramie with dual climate control.
Many of these car shows are infomercials to a greater or lesser degree. They have to pay the bills. Even from the infomercials I have learned about new products that actually helped me solve problems and alerted me to new potential parts suppliers. So the infomercials aren't all bad. The trailer tire info drove home a point about replacing trailer tires that have been on a trailer for maybe decades! Case in point, I was towing a valuable show car on an old open car trailer a month ago. We were on the interstate, doing 70 and one of the tires blew out on the trailer. We didn't realize it until we stopped for gas and there wasn't much left of the tire's sidewall. The tread was long gone. That 15" tire was probably 20+ yrs. old and had formally served as a car passenger tire. No big loss, but glad we didn't wreck and damage the car or the tow vehicle. The two tires on the rear axle were Carlyle brand trailer tires and were much newer than the two on the front axle. Time to get two new trailer tires this spring! No more risking life, limb and property. Who cares if these guys do or don't do the actual work. I do learn some things from their shows, even if they don't inform me enough to be an ace at any given repair. LOL
I was wondering I have a 2005 5.9 with a long crank issue I’m not noticing some of the sigh s of bad injectors I have noticed a diesel leak though coming from somewhere towards the block though. Any thoughts on how I should trouble shoot this issue any help is appreciated
What can I do to get more torque out of my 01 Dodge Ram? It doesn't matter if I put the pedal to the metal it will not do a burnout and it's actually really slow it's a 318 and I know that motor can do way more than what it is doing I'm just not sure where to start only modifications on the truck is MagnaFlow exhaust
What I did when my dash cracked I took it to the Dodge shop. They told he the cost so I called Dodge main office and went off. I told them that it was unacceptable for the dash to crack. When I got done the Dodge company call the shop and told them to replace the dash at not cost to me.
I use to watch your show but its mostly about chevy & ford, and i know this about the dodge but not one of the newer dodges how about doing a couple of episodes on a 2012 to 2020...
on the blend door ,just take a self tapping screw and screw it shut in recirculate and problem solved. did it on my 05 and no more problems. remove glove ox on 2010 and newer and it's right behind it. on 02-10 pull blower moter from bottom..
I repaired it a similar way. I cut some 3\4 square wood stock and JB Water Welded them into place to hold the blend door shut. I did it this way to get my AC blowing again and also its a 100% reversible "temporary" fix if I want to put it back to factory. Working great. That water weld has many great uses!
Anyone know why a 2005 Dodge 4.7l would keep throwing the same rocker arm over and over? I replaced the lifters because they were clogged, it threw a rocker, I put the old lifter back in to see if it would stop, it threw the same rocker again. I heard putting a washer (app 0.100 thick) under the lifter will stop it from happening but I couldn't get the rocker arm over the lifter and gave up on that idea. I thought about installing adjustable lifters but (to me) it doesn't solve the issue as to why it's falling off in the first place.
They didn't even mention I'm a mechanical problems at the 5 7 Hemi has. Like the cam lifter problem. Or it dropping valve seats around 120k mile that I've seen numerous times. Or the ball joint problems. And that's a repair that no shop likes to take on they are hell to replace due to them becoming rusted. Along with a hole laundry list of transmission problems that those things have. But I will give it to them with the a/c and steering upgrades. But I believe ppl are more interested in the mechanics of the engine and transmission issues these things have.
And vise-versa. If you're replacing a dash cover, offer to replace the heater core. Its staring you in the face when you pull the dash out to replace the cover.
i want a 2019 ram 2500 6.7l cummins, i don’t know much about diesel, how would this truck do as a daily driver/short trip truck, 6 miles to work and 6 miles back home? and can you do a manual regen on this truck?
Diesel engines aren't that fond of start and stop or "short distance" driving. At the very least you'll want to give it a minute to warm up before driving and cool off before shutting it off to reduce wear.
They probably don't look at comments because it's a show to sell sponsored parts and accessories, but that dash cover is just stupid allowing broken pieces to continue to break and fall behind the dash.
TruckU i have a 04 dodge ram 1500 the gf broke the grab bars off of it. I got 3 of 4 bolts out but the 4th is stuck. Try twisting and the silver bracket that the bolt goes in just spins. Any suggestions on how to get it out and put a new one in
My question is, changing to a new oil. I have a 2011 GMC 3500 Denali. I am debating between Royal Purple and Amzoil or something else that you may suggest. It's a 6.6 leter Duramax. Would like your input, what oil is better and why. ? Thanks for opinion and recommendation.
Why would you want to spend nearly $100 per oil change with those. I have a 2011 Ram that broke a valve spring at 108,000 miles, granted it's a gas 5.7 Hemi but when I tore it down, the engine was clean inside, no gunk or sludge. I only use Mobil1 full synthetic. I live on a dirt/gravel road so it sucks in a lot of dust when people pass me going the other way. I had an 86 Chevy Astro van with the 4.3 V6, when I had to tear it down, the engine was clean, with Mobil1 full synthetic. I change my oil religously at 5,000. I drive 57 miles one way to work, so I go through oil changes pretty quick. I can't see spending that kind of money at every oil change. Personally, I think it ludicrous and fool hearty. My dad always told me that a fool and his money soon part.
I have a 2002 V6 4x4 Laramie has 1.1 million miles on it has 12 inch lift on 44s runs great stock motor just new grears and muffler and intake with a twin turbos and a built transmission makeing 520hp and 630trq
In our 06 Dodge Ram, the recirculation door broke off entirely and covered up the round intake hole. That was nothing that a little super glue couldn't fix.
My 04 ram 1500 4.7 is reading rich & feels & sounds like a misfire. Plugs have been cleaned, new coil packs installed. Did a visual inspection of throttle body sensor & cleaned other sensor below & still problem persists. Help!
Kevin Chaulklin I had the same problem with my 07 ram 1500 . I did all the same things as you described... Try unpluginggin the upstream o2 sensors...it turned out to be my issue.. i had to replace Them and all good now.
I have to charge oil pan gasket on DODGE TRUCK 3500. 07 6.7 Diesel can I take oil pan out or do I have to take motor bolts out to get oil pan out let me know thanks
I just got new rear light circuit boards for 17$ and all new window and door control bezels for a quad cab for 23$ for all 4! ‘06 and other than that basic ware and tare and I just fix them with an upgrade for cheaper and have had no issues and I have a actual diesel power plant! 6sd manual with 550whp no problems! Just take care of your rigs instead of blaming it! Have nothing bad to say about Chevy or Ford just a equipment and Semi guy so if it ain’t inline I am not interested! Duramax is a Isuzu engine!FYI
does carboraitor give you more power than fule injection some guys i talk to say switch over to carboraitor and some say keep it fule injection im trying to get some good horsepower out of my 318 can you plez tell me what i should do
Of course they've been around since the late 60s and the magnum is just a newer version of the la 318 mtr . not a horse rocket but a good commuter v8 keep it maintained...
I like the 318 a lot as long as the truck isn't loaded heavy. When towing or hauling medium to moderately heavy loads, I like the 360 MUCH better. Both engines are easy to work on and easy to get parts.
mine is a 2003 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi---when its cold it normally runs good---then after a few miles at a light it idles up an down---sometimes shutting it off and starting it again gets it running smooth for a few miles---sometimes reving the engine clears it up for awhile--engine code that came up for the oxygen sensor---could only find 2--suppose to be 4 but mine seems to have only 2---did not help---changed the 16 plugs---if anything worst---did a fuel cleaner thru the fuel injection system---did not help---and I know the fuel pump was changed 2 years ago---although this sounds like the problem---the other fired it up and ran for 2 hours with just once it rough idled--today it seemed every red light was to be a rev at the light to keep it running---do you think it could all be just a valve spring--Thanks in advance
Have the same year truck. At 103k it had a similar problem. It got worse where it would not stay running at all. Turned out it was the Throttle Body. $900 later, problem fixed. LOL
I need help with my dodge Dakota. Specs. 2005 dodge Dakota crew cab. 4.7 v8. Getrag 238 6 speed transmission. Problem is transmission is shot. Very hard to find rebuilt getrag. Parts not available. My question is.. will the nv3500 5 speed transmission that was in the older Dakota work in my 2005 without a lot of reworking.
Geezus! Please follow vehicle manufacturers tire specifications that is found on the door/pillar placard for proper tire size and pressure! Same for trailer tires. Placard for trailers are usually found on left hand side of the trailer frame or wall. It also shows proper tire size, ply type and rating, and proper air pressure! THE SIDE OF THE TIRE SPECIFICALLY STATES THE MAX PRESSURE AND MAX WEIGHT THE TIRE CAN HANDLE!!!
If you suck through a filter, you make the pump work harder & you'll be more prone to vapor lock. It's better to put the filter on the output side of the pump. The auxillisry pump can be expendable, the injector pump, not so much.
Wrong... the tire pressure is not dictated by the tire company. The trailer builder gives you that info. The tire company gives you the max load and air pressure data of their built tire. So make sure you get the right tires as printed on the trailer data plate.
I have a dodge 2001 ram 1500. Truck will crank and run with a scanner plugged into the computer scan port. But won’t start and run without it plugged in.
YOU FIRST AND FOREMOST NEED TO LOCATE ALL VEHICLE GROUNDING POINTS CLEAN/GREASE THEM W GOOD DIELECTRIC GREASE TEST ALL POINTS WITH OHM METER TO BE SHURE GOUND SYSTEM IS GOOD ! AFTRE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET PROPER PCM CODES TO SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE! !
I bought my 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 quad cab and the head gaskets were blown, now there's a 5.3 and a 4l60e and NP-233 and computer sitting in the truck and now I have no more Dodge issues
That seems to be an issue with the hemi motors. That's a cylinder 3 misfire. Ours was cylinder 5 with mds. Some get 8. With ours when the truck drops down to 4 of the eight cylinders we end up only running on 3 cylinders instead of all 4 like it should be. Also thought because of the code changing the spark plugs would fix it. NOPE. We changed all 16 of THEM. Still didn't help. Started looking into this problem after hearing a ticking sound thinking maybe it's an exhaust leak. You should look up what's going on with the 5.7 hemi issues if that is the engine you haven't done so yet. Could be your lifters, camshaft, springs. See if there is oil coming out from #3 or if dry and if moving properly. Chrysler is not taking responsibility for this issue, which they SHOULD. Pain in the arss, and expensive problem(s) to fix. All on their manufacture default. Love our truck. Hate this problem. Right now not happy at all with hearing so many people with same exact problems and Chrysler saying we are ALL soL.
Bought my 07 4X4 1500 Hemi used with 199,000 miles and it's been a really good truck. Maintenance wise someone didn't know what they were doing because it had 3 different brand of spark plugs in various degrees of tightness.. almost falling out to needing a breaker bar. It got about 13 mpg on the highway. The mds started acting up but I turned it off with Diablosport Predator 2 ". I wanted a little hp anyways along with resetting the tranny shift quality. After the plug change, "tune", it now gets 18-20 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 12 year old truck with 205,000plus miles. Putting new bottom front seat covers and cushions this week. The only thing I see that needs maintenance is the 4wheel drive system. It's a great truck as have all my Dodge cars and trucks have been for over 50 years. At some point, ported heads a Compcams bumpstick with headers will be put installed.@@hushhh2474
I have a laundry list of issues with all 9 of our 4th gens. Let's do another show. please cover y-pipe, water pump, g56 case flex, clutch fan failures, Def system failures, death wobbles, poor tire wear on dually, uneven front to rear braking, fuel system upgrades to avoid expensive maintenance. Synthetic vs Conventional oils and how they destroy or plug the factory system. I'm curious to hear your takes on these issues. we've worked these kinks out but RAM isn't my first choice on new trucks anymore. what's your opinions?

Guys have great advice. My only negative is dont buy from heater treater! Part to fix the 99 is extremely overpriced and probably doesn't weigh 5 oz. And they want to charge 10 dollars for shipping and their customer service is a joke. I asked if they could do anything to lower the cost of shipping told me to come to Austin. Then proceeded to tell me how they have to pay someone to drop it off at the po. Give me a break what a joke! Dont buy from them and truck u needs to not let them sponsor the show anymore!
Just trying to get our only vehicle fixed I bought this transmission started slipping wish had the money to replace just broke trying to get our only vehicle fixed me and my wife
Gary Davis no pull the dash over to the seat remove 2 screws remove the motor break the tabs on the old recirc door the door comes off easy install the new one and re install the motor and 2 screws and then install the dash it’s 2 hour job with help 3 with out.
Please!!!!! If anybody out there can help me out. I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Express/5.7-4x4. The problem that I just had is while I was driving, it shut off and the shifting knob started to blink and the truck shut down on me and got stock in drive. What caused this and how would I fix this matter? Thank you
changing out the blend doors is not hard at all. It is however very time consuming. Changing out the blend doors the way you guys showed is a very shitty way. You actually hear the door move and the tape comes loose and in some cases can here it flap. Removing the dash is not difficult, but yes takes lots of time. It's a full weekend job.
Have a 2007 Dudge ram 1500 that I bought from Copart insurance auction. Was in a ligbt wreck to driver front. Cranks ok no gas or spark. Does this have an inertia switch like a lot that can be reset. Cant seem to find a decent answer.
$1800 to fix the Blend Door issue on my 2007 RAM. It has a Metal brace that runs from the top of the dash to the floor right down the center, right in the way of all those doors....:-(
and now that you hacked the hvac box apart when you fail to get it back together and take it to a real mechaninc your gonna have to replace the hvac box too not just the doors
Kevin Freist what you got I’m thinking of getting a new 2019 truck not ford or Chevy or gmc GM junk ram fiat junk only left is Toyota reliable Tundra not so good looking for me might get a 2019 Nissan Titan they are not expensive as the competition
@@AlejandroP1980s my point. not tested by time yet. had many probs with altimas and frontiers. very complicated engines. more to go wrong. maybe im just biased but i travel in a 4 runner with 412, 766 miles on original engine .never removed the heads .runs like new. cold air , all electric everything works perfect. my pal has a nissan pathfinder thats 5 years newer and half the miles and half of it doesnt function anymore. he cant afford the parts to keep up with it .basically a money pit. so ....... i have no need for a stinking nissan... ! lol !!
@@AlejandroP1980s oh , and bankers just love it when people purchase NEW cars. i would go with a 2 or 3 yr old 6 cyl. toyota .you will get a much better price and a much better quality truck.

This is going on the second year of them being installed on the truck and they still adjust as the day I installed them.
So save yourself a headache later and take the adjuster knobs off and add a little bit more grease to keep moisture and rust out and keep them moving freely.
And I was just beginning to love my 02 dodge truck, now the warm fuzzies are gone and I want to sell it before a $10 part destroys it!
It's amazing they didn't mention the totally integrated power module issues or abs and brake lights on dash
I am getting my ABS light and parking brake light come on recently and it has never gone away from the last time I did my front brakes.
@@DorianMariusGray you may want to rule out the rear speed sensor, but most likely the ABS module is failing.
@@Chop_69 I had replaced the rear wheel speed sensor but it did not fix it so if the ABS module is faulty is there a way to test it that you know of?
@@DorianMariusGray I'm not sure. It's been a while since I was researching that but I remember concluding that the ABS modules fail. You also want to verify nothing is wrong with the wires on the pins inside the plug connectors.
Dealer told me that that may be why I'm getting different codes coming up...Power train codes, transmission and abs codes.
Before I spend $1000 for a TIPM, I'm going to check for damaged wires from friggin mice and chipmunks chewing on wires, since I live in the country and the truck set for 3 months when it broke an intake valve spring and valve guide.
I even had a squirrel starting to make a nest on top of the battery.
If you use that one piece dash cover you can forget about ever replacing a heater core or evaporator. You will never be able to get to the screws along the windshield to remove the dash.
I am a proud Dodge owner. Good video. But with all showes like this. Lots of plugs 4 products to sell. I fixed my broken blend door for 10 cents. I just st screwed to to the housing. Watch you tube. On how. I just bought a new tail light strip. And my 2500 W/Hemi is not having steering box issues. But gust had 4 new Monroe shocks installed after 12 years of good svc. Out of factory ones. Good truck!!
Rick Reid I did the same thing with my door as well. Works great.
Rick Reid Nothing to be proud of owning a Dodge, they are pieces of shit.
here in california i as a retired marine veteran can use the facilities on base. they have work bays complete with lifts that i can rent so i can do whatever repairs myself.
Wow, soooooooo many ads and plugs to companies. Only a few issues talked about. I happen to be a ram person and know they have a bunch more common issues. The heat/ac was good info as was the suspension support, but the headlights and taillight issues are common in most older vehicles because they don't have glass lenses.
prsnlty6 the trailer was not a Dodge Ram
Dodge ram lambo doors
try Ultimate Drivetrain on UA-cam....
I like how they talk about a diesel then there working on a v8 lol
Glad I Found You Guys...
Excellent video.
I love my 2006 5.9 Cummins but the front end steering is garbage.
It probably doesn't help running 35s, so I upgraded to the 2008+ T-style steering plus the Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer. It seemed good to go at first until it wasn't, everything still seemed to loose under there. But now I know I need to get a steering box brace.
In both of my 2007 3500s I put Synergy Steering with EMF ends. Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer, 6 bolt box, 2013 power steering pump, thuren coils, Thuren track bars. Now the trucks drive better than anything else. Oh ya also the EMF balljoints.
I sure do wish these guys would try to sell me something. This soft sale technique isn't aggressive enough.
If they covered the common problems with the dodge rams(I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel) it would be a 12 hours 3 day show!!!

Is that same heater issue with 1999 Second gen Dodge Rams and also is the bump steer reinforcement kit available for the 1999 Second Gen Dodge Ram, lastly is the track bar available for the 1999 Second Gen Dodge Ram.
Asking cause I found a decent 1999 Ram.
The Heater Treater doors look better than they did back in `09 when I brought the kit for my `04. 10 years later they are still working!

doesn't fit for shit, it rattles and just looks terrible. Its not that
hard to replace it the right way. I thought this was about common Dodge
problems? Bump steer is a common 4x4 issue. All automanufatures have
light issues when you break the light. SMDH This was just an
infomercial.
I'm currently fixing s neglected dodge I am redoing the dash and replacing the heater core and condenser
I love my '07 Ram. Only problem I've had so far is the cv joint came disconnected today while i was driving. Thankfully it still drove okay and i was able to get home safely!!!
I belive there is a recall on that!
5 minutes of useful information. 20 minutes of bullshit filler.
i agree . don;t need all the cartoons i thought truck repair was serious work
Oh well I wish these guys would use my truck as their demo for all new parts and upgrade
2000 Dodge Ram 1500 it leaks all the water what seems to be coming out the bottom next to trans. It not a hose the is a piece of metal that is rusted off. Would this be an expensive fix?
HVAC systems are a recall on these trucks FYI
Before paying for or diving into a blend door replacement make sure your A/C is fully charged. I had cold air on the driver side and warm air on the passenger side. After recharging the A/C system both sides are cold.

Many of these car shows are infomercials to a greater or lesser degree. They have to pay the bills. Even from the infomercials I have learned about new products that actually helped me solve problems and alerted me to new potential parts suppliers. So the infomercials aren't all bad. The trailer tire info drove home a point about replacing trailer tires that have been on a trailer for maybe decades! Case in point, I was towing a valuable show car on an old open car trailer a month ago. We were on the interstate, doing 70 and one of the tires blew out on the trailer. We didn't realize it until we stopped for gas and there wasn't much left of the tire's sidewall. The tread was long gone. That 15" tire was probably 20+ yrs. old and had formally served as a car passenger tire. No big loss, but glad we didn't wreck and damage the car or the tow vehicle. The two tires on the rear axle were Carlyle brand trailer tires and were much newer than the two on the front axle. Time to get two new trailer tires this spring! No more risking life, limb and property. Who cares if these guys do or don't do the actual work. I do learn some things from their shows, even if they don't inform me enough to be an ace at any given repair. LOL
Need some help on replacing all my lights to led lights but how do I get the hyperflashing rid off.
And just when are you guys going to show this blend door actually being installed in a Ram truck?

What can I do to get more torque out of my 01 Dodge Ram? It doesn't matter if I put the pedal to the metal it will not do a burnout and it's actually really slow it's a 318 and I know that motor can do way more than what it is doing I'm just not sure where to start only modifications on the truck is MagnaFlow exhaust

What I did when my dash cracked I took it to the Dodge shop. They told he the cost so I called Dodge main office and went off. I told them that it was unacceptable for the dash to crack. When I got done the Dodge company call the shop and told them to replace the dash at not cost to me.
I use to watch your show but its mostly about chevy & ford, and i know this about the dodge but not one of the newer dodges how about doing a couple of episodes on a 2012 to 2020...
this show was one gigantic commercial...
And a worthless one at that.....
on the blend door ,just take a self tapping screw and screw it shut in recirculate and problem solved. did it on my 05 and no more problems. remove glove ox on 2010 and newer and it's right behind it. on 02-10 pull blower moter from bottom..
I repaired it a similar way.
I cut some 3\4 square wood stock and JB Water Welded them into place to hold the blend door shut. I did it this way to get my AC blowing again and also its a 100% reversible "temporary" fix if I want to put it back to factory. Working great. That water weld has many great uses!
only issue i ever had with my dodge tail lights was that i backed into my snowblower. All good, now ive got some sick smoked led joints
The 4th gen dodge is awesome along with the dodge Durango
Anyone know why a 2005 Dodge 4.7l would keep throwing the same rocker arm over and over? I replaced the lifters because they were clogged, it threw a rocker, I put the old lifter back in to see if it would stop, it threw the same rocker again. I heard putting a washer (app 0.100 thick) under the lifter will stop it from happening but I couldn't get the rocker arm over the lifter and gave up on that idea. I thought about installing adjustable lifters but (to me) it doesn't solve the issue as to why it's falling off in the first place.
Trying to find a video on how to fix the+- swich on my 2012 ram or at least diagnose the problem.
They didn't even mention I'm a mechanical problems at the 5 7 Hemi has. Like the cam lifter problem. Or it dropping valve seats around 120k mile that I've seen numerous times. Or the ball joint problems. And that's a repair that no shop likes to take on they are hell to replace due to them becoming rusted. Along with a hole laundry list of transmission problems that those things have. But I will give it to them with the a/c and steering upgrades. But I believe ppl are more interested in the mechanics of the engine and transmission issues these things have.
Agree!!
Yes, like why does my 07 1500 Mega Cab Hemi sound like a Diesel? Not sure if it's the lifters rattling or what. But it's starting to get annoying.
@@Fitch93 Try MDF Delete.
I learned about these dashboards in my tech career. We always included replacement dash tops with heater core repair
And vise-versa. If you're replacing a dash cover, offer to replace the heater core. Its staring you in the face when you pull the dash out to replace the cover.
Per 6:30, I was waiting for the 'inexpensive' way to fix the a/c diverter problem, after the break.
i want a 2019 ram 2500 6.7l cummins, i don’t know much about diesel, how would this truck do as a daily driver/short trip truck, 6 miles to work and 6 miles back home? and can you do a manual regen on this truck?
Diesel engines aren't that fond of start and stop or "short distance" driving. At the very least you'll want to give it a minute to warm up before driving and cool off before shutting it off to reduce wear.
They probably don't look at comments because it's a show to sell sponsored parts and accessories, but that dash cover is just stupid allowing broken pieces to continue to break and fall behind the dash.
I don't always drive a Dodge but when I do, it's towing a FORD....

TruckU i have a 04 dodge ram 1500 the gf broke the grab bars off of it. I got 3 of 4 bolts out but the 4th is stuck. Try twisting and the silver bracket that the bolt goes in just spins. Any suggestions on how to get it out and put a new one in
My question is, changing to a new oil. I have a 2011 GMC 3500 Denali. I am debating between Royal Purple and Amzoil or something else that you may suggest. It's a 6.6 leter Duramax. Would like your input, what oil is better and why. ? Thanks for opinion and recommendation.
Phil Brouzes rotella. T6 oil best oil you can buy
Why would you want to spend nearly $100 per oil change with those.
I have a 2011 Ram that broke a valve spring at 108,000 miles, granted it's a gas 5.7 Hemi but when I tore it down, the engine was clean inside, no gunk or sludge. I only use Mobil1 full synthetic.
I live on a dirt/gravel road so it sucks in a lot of dust when people pass me going the other way.
I had an 86 Chevy Astro van with the 4.3 V6, when I had to tear it down, the engine was clean, with Mobil1 full synthetic.
I change my oil religously at 5,000. I drive 57 miles one way to work, so I go through oil changes pretty quick. I can't see spending that kind of money at every oil change.
Personally, I think it ludicrous and fool hearty. My dad always told me that a fool and his money soon part.
deepwaterpaper true that's also a huge issue. using atf4 other than using the correct atf+4
I have a 2002 V6 4x4 Laramie has 1.1 million miles on it has 12 inch lift on 44s runs great stock motor just new grears and muffler and intake with a twin turbos and a built transmission makeing 520hp and 630trq
In our 06 Dodge Ram, the recirculation door broke off entirely and covered up the round intake hole. That was nothing that a little super glue couldn't fix.
Would love some details on how you did that.
I’ll take 8 of those rim and tires for my boat trailer plz and thank you

the tail lense issue is whats wrong with dodge and some fords. Expensive, hard to find. A lot of their parts are like that.
does carboraitor give you more power than fule injection some guys i talk to say switch over to carboraitor and some say keep it fule injection im trying to get some good horsepower out of my 318 can you plez tell me what i should do
Keep your fuel injection. You'd be going backwards in technology thus backwars in fuel economy, efficiency and power. There is no comparison.
is the Chrysler 318 a Good motor mine is a 93 magnum
Of course they've been around since the late 60s and the magnum is just a newer version of the la 318 mtr . not a horse rocket but a good commuter v8 keep it maintained...
Valve guides tend to wear making them smoke a little but they seem to run forever
I like the 318 a lot as long as the truck isn't loaded heavy. When towing or hauling medium to moderately heavy loads, I like the 360 MUCH better. Both engines are easy to work on and easy to get parts.
318 and 360 are both as rugged as Rosie O'Donnell.
mine is a 2003 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi---when its cold it normally runs good---then after a few miles at a light it idles up an down---sometimes shutting it off and starting it again gets it running smooth for a few miles---sometimes reving the engine clears it up for awhile--engine code that came up for the oxygen sensor---could only find 2--suppose to be 4 but mine seems to have only 2---did not help---changed the 16 plugs---if anything worst---did a fuel cleaner thru the fuel injection system---did not help---and I know the fuel pump was changed 2 years ago---although this sounds like the problem---the other fired it up and ran for 2 hours with just once it rough idled--today it seemed every red light was to be a rev at the light to keep it running---do you think it could all be just a valve spring--Thanks in advance
Have the same year truck. At 103k it had a similar problem. It got worse where it would not stay running at all. Turned out it was the Throttle Body. $900 later, problem fixed. LOL
I have a 2017 Ram Rebel the steering wheel can turn either left or right is there a main fuse control for it
I need help with my dodge Dakota. Specs. 2005 dodge Dakota crew cab. 4.7 v8. Getrag 238 6 speed transmission. Problem is transmission is shot. Very hard to find rebuilt getrag. Parts not available. My question is.. will the nv3500 5 speed transmission that was in the older Dakota work in my 2005 without a lot of reworking.
Geezus! Please follow vehicle manufacturers tire specifications that is found on the door/pillar placard for proper tire size and pressure! Same for trailer tires. Placard for trailers are usually found on left hand side of the trailer frame or wall. It also shows proper tire size, ply type and rating, and proper air pressure! THE SIDE OF THE TIRE SPECIFICALLY STATES THE MAX PRESSURE AND MAX WEIGHT THE TIRE CAN HANDLE!!!
If you suck through a filter, you make the pump work harder & you'll be more prone
to vapor lock. It's better to put the filter on the output side of the pump.
The auxillisry pump can be expendable, the injector pump, not so much.

Like to see a episode about the TIPM on Dodge trucks
try Ultimate Drivetrain on UA-cam...
Hi Guys
Just bought my 1st Pick Up, a 2018 Ram 1500, Big Horn.
Question......... What do you think of LED Headlights & Taillights systems??
try Ultimate Drivetrain on UA-cam...
Is Zmax comparable to AT-205? I hear this stuff is the ticket.
Wrong... the tire pressure is not dictated by the tire company. The trailer builder gives you that info.
The tire company gives you the max load and air pressure data of their built tire.
So make sure you get the right tires as printed on the trailer data plate.
I have a dodge 2001 ram 1500. Truck will crank and run with a scanner plugged into the computer scan port. But won’t start and run without it plugged in.

I bought my 2001 Dodge Dakota 4x4 quad cab and the head gaskets were blown, now there's a 5.3 and a 4l60e and NP-233 and computer sitting in the truck and now I have no more Dodge issues
Does your dash have all kinds a huge cracks in it? Does your Hemi have a P0303?
Nope I have a 01 ram w/ ctd thats rust free in the North east . Thats what happens when you take care of your stuff,
That seems to be an issue with the hemi motors. That's a cylinder 3 misfire. Ours was cylinder 5 with mds. Some get 8. With ours when the truck drops down to 4 of the eight cylinders we end up only running on 3 cylinders instead of all 4 like it should be. Also thought because of the code changing the spark plugs would fix it. NOPE. We changed all 16 of THEM. Still didn't help. Started looking into this problem after hearing a ticking sound thinking maybe it's an exhaust leak. You should look up what's going on with the 5.7 hemi issues if that is the engine you haven't done so yet. Could be your lifters, camshaft, springs. See if there is oil coming out from #3 or if dry and if moving properly.
Chrysler is not taking responsibility for this issue, which they SHOULD. Pain in the arss, and expensive problem(s) to fix. All on their manufacture default. Love our truck. Hate this problem. Right now not happy at all with hearing so many people with same exact problems and Chrysler saying we are ALL soL.
Bought my 07 4X4 1500 Hemi used with 199,000 miles and it's been a really good truck. Maintenance wise someone didn't know what they were doing because it had 3 different brand of spark plugs in various degrees of tightness.. almost falling out to needing a breaker bar. It got about 13 mpg on the highway. The mds started acting up but I turned it off with Diablosport Predator 2 ". I wanted a little hp anyways along with resetting the tranny shift quality. After the plug change, "tune", it now gets 18-20 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 12 year old truck with 205,000plus miles.
Putting new bottom front seat covers and cushions this week. The only thing I see that needs maintenance is the 4wheel drive system. It's a great truck as have all my Dodge cars and trucks have been for over 50 years. At some point, ported heads a Compcams bumpstick with headers will be put installed.@@hushhh2474

Guys have great advice. My only negative is dont buy from heater treater! Part to fix the 99 is extremely overpriced and probably doesn't weigh 5 oz. And they want to charge 10 dollars for shipping and their customer service is a joke. I asked if they could do anything to lower the cost of shipping told me to come to Austin. Then proceeded to tell me how they have to pay someone to drop it off at the po. Give me a break what a joke! Dont buy from them and truck u needs to not let them sponsor the show anymore!

Worst idea to cut your housing apart, sooner or later that will lead to other problems. Fix it right the first time
You guys are Studs!!! Keep up the great wouk...
changing out the blend doors is not hard at all. It is however very time consuming. Changing out the blend doors the way you guys showed is a very shitty way. You actually hear the door move and the tape comes loose and in some cases can here it flap. Removing the dash is not difficult, but yes takes lots of time. It's a full weekend job.
Have a 2007 Dudge ram 1500 that I bought from Copart insurance auction. Was in a ligbt wreck to driver front. Cranks ok no gas or spark. Does this have an inertia switch like a lot that can be reset. Cant seem to find a decent answer.
if it has an electric fuel pump it has an inertia switch as a safety feature
Without cutting of the entire metal substructure behind the dashboard, this repair is IMPOSSIBLE in a 2007 RAM 1500.
$1800 to fix the Blend Door issue on my 2007 RAM. It has a Metal brace that runs from the top of the dash to the floor right down the center, right in the way of all those doors....:-(
