Is this a pickup or a van?

The last Dodge pickup I had to change the evaporator on was a 2000, so maybe it's the same.

1-Evacuate the system.

2-Pull the A-Pillars off. These are in front of the driver's and passenger's side windows. Disconnect any electrical connectors.

3-Remove the kick panels. These are down low forward of the front doors. Disconnect any electrical connectors.

4-Remove the center console, if equipped. Disconnect any electrical connectors.

5-Disconnect wiring connector from blower motor. If there's a green and/or red wire at this connector, push the terminal out of the connector and cut any tape along that wire(s) that you can see.

6-Clamp off and remove heater hoses at connection near firewall (underhood.)

7-Disconnect AC line quick connects near firewall underhood.

8-Remove the 6 to 8 dashboard mounting bolts that are exposed after removing kick panels and center console.

9-Tile dashboard back and remove from vehicle. Two people are required, unles you want to rip upholstery.

10-Remove 5 fasteners on underhood side and three fasteners on interior side holding the HVAC case to the firewall.

11-Disconnect electrical connectors as needed.

12-Remove case from vehicle.

13-Remove several screws.

14-Split halves of case.

15-Pull the core out. Note that if you purchased a non-Mopar core, it doesn't look quite like the one you just pulled out of your truck and won't fit in the same place.
