How do you replace the heater core on a 1997 dodge ram?
You will need to remove the dash and HVAC housing to access the heater core.
Start with disconnecting the battery.
You will then need to recover the Freon from the ac system and drain the antifreeze.
Under the hood you will need special tools to disconnect the ac lines at the firewall, remove the heater hoses, remove the engine computer and remove four nuts that hold the HVAC housing.
Inside you will have to remove the trim on the sides of the windshield, trim at the base of the doors, remove the trim below the steering column, remove the steering column, remove the trim on top of the transmission tunnel, remove the airbag computer, remove screws across the top of the dash and on the sides, unplug numerous connectors and remove the dash. You can just lay it on top of the seats.
The HVAC housing is then held in with two more nuts.
Once you get it out you then remove the screws that hold the Heater core in place. If you want to replace the evaporator coil while you are there ( a good idea ) you need to remove the screws that hold the top cover on.
You reverse all steps to install.
Do not forget to fill the antifreeze and warm the engine up before driving.
You will also need access to an ac vacuum/refill machine to recharge the ac.
What kind of transmission is in my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab sport 4x4?
its all dependent of the engine size if its 3.9 liter its a 42re or a500 depending on who you talk to if the moter is a 5.2 or 5.9 its a 46re or a518 again depends on who you talk to and if its a 3.7 or 4.7 its a 45rfe.these other names such as 42 re and a500 are the same transmissions they are just called others by different people
Where is the vacuum pump for a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Gas engine?
A gas engine does not have a vacuum pump.
Vacuum pumps are used on diesels only as they do not pull vacuum from the manifold. Gas engines use vacuum lines (usually stemming from intake or throttle body)
V8 - 6 quarts filter service, 12 quarts dry fill approx. Diesel - 6 quarts filter service, 16-18 quarts dry fill.

How many quarts of gear oil in 2003 dodge ram 1500 differential?
Front holds 3.5 pints Rear holds 4.9 pints
How do you adjust the idle on a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500?
The idle is not adjustable. It is computer controlled with a idle air control motor that is on the back of the throttle body. If your idle speed is incorrect you either have a computer that has "forgot" how to idle or a sensor issue. You need to have it checked for codes, if no codes you need to reset the computer's memory. You can reset the memory by unhooking the battery for 5 minutes. If it now idles properly you should have the battery tested, a weak battery can cause the computer to "forget" how to idle.
Is there an ac fuse on a 2007 dodge ram 3500 diesel?
There is a fuse, relay and switch on the low pressure side that will inhib compressor from turning on if there is not enough pressure.
How do you replace the heater core on a 1994 to 2001 Dodge Ram?
don't work too hard you can do this by taking ONLY the main mounting bolts for the dash til the dash is "loose" (screws on top by the windshield both sides and some in the center bottom and undo the mounting bolts for the heater box (under the hood studs that come through the fire wall)heater door cables and wiring (don't forget the vaccume line that feeds it through the firewall) and pull it out from under the dash swap the core and slide it back under the dash it only takes a few hours and the dash never leaves the truck email sevendustf@AOL.com for details
Unfortunately, I cannot give a definite answer. However, what I can tell you is it is a very detailed job that would probably take you a weekend to do. I just had mine replaced at the beginning of Feb. it cost me $1100.00. If your replacing the heater core it is best to go ahead and replace the A/C evaporator as well. As my mechanic explained it to me to get to the heater core requires removal of the dash as everything is back in behind it. If your pretty mechanically inclined and have all the right tools I would say to go ahead and do it yourself as it will only cost about $300-400 for the parts. Unfortunately, it is the labor that sucks. I called 3 different mechanics and 2 Dodge dealers and they all quoted me the same price within about $20 of each other. I can tell you this though, it made a world of difference in the heat in my truck (cooks me out on full heat), and my A/C works great, but not right time of year to use it. a little.
To remove the heater core on this vehicle you have to remove the steering column and then the dash itself. The a/c system will have to be recovered and the engine coolant drained and the airbag system must be disabled and the battery will have to be disconnected. This is not a job for the average backyard mechanic. I would not recommend doing this operation unless you have the knowledge and the proper tooling and experience. Otherwise after you have removed the dash you will have to remove the heating and cooling unit from the vehicle and split the case by removing the screws that hold it together. Then you can remove the heater core.
Its not easy, but you got to take off the whole dash, I just pulled it out as far as I could so I didn't have to take it completely out, but you have to take out all the bolts like you were going to, then disconnect the heater core hoses under the hood, then your ac hoses, which are real fun to take off, you have to go get a coupling tool. Then there is 2 bolts on the inside of the cab to the blower box, and like 4 or five more under the hood on the firewall, you have to take off the ac condenser(I think that's what it is, you'll see it, it goes right to the lines for the ac) and there's another one right behind the brainbox(computer box) which took me forever to find. then you pull the whole heater blower box back as far as you need it and pull out the heater core, slide the new one in, connect and all that in reverse, have fun.......
take it to a shop i just got done doig one and it isn't right it needs to be done in a shop by a mechanic
Heater Core remove/replace in dodge 1500 truck 1995-01. I can pull it in 3.5 hours. putting it back takes about 2 hours, plus charging the AC, about one more hour more. Having a friend around really helps. Disconnect the battery before attempting any work to avoid a short.
1)Remove first screw on plastic door sill on both sides. (the things on top of rug where door closes)Remove kick panels.
2)Remove panel under steering wheel.
3)Remove two nuts holding up steering wheel.
4)Remove screws where windshield meets dash board.
5)Remove 2 bolts left and right under dash but against sides of car (under kick panels).
5a) There is a square box in the center of the dash by the floor. Take it off and take those nuts off. And disconnect the wire harness and the get the panel loose and down out of the way.
6)Dashboard is now loose and can be pulled towards the seats.
7)On right side of dash hook a wire way up to screw that holds moulding clips, or pull the dash towards the seat and put a jackstand under the passenger side.
8)The whole heater box is now visible.
9) You've got to remove vacuum lines, controls, and electric plugs from heater box.
10) Now the secret: there are 2 screws holding it to fire wall on inside (one has a ground wire attached). The other is in the upper right hand corner facing up. The easiest way to get to the bolts holding the ground wire is to take out the glove compartment and then take out the airbag.
11) there are 4 nuts holding it from engine side of firewall(one is behind the electric panel on the passanger side). Remove all four of these.
12) Remove heater hose clamps with a hose clamp plier. This will take time, these clips are hard to get off.
13) Drain the AC freon.
14)the AC lines require a special tool that costs $9-12 at parts store. the kit has 6 plastic widgets. use the one that fits. play with an AC fitting near the radiator for practice first.
15) you should be able to pull the heater box out now.
16) Remember the dashboard is just pulled up high enough on the right to get at the heater box.
17) It is a good idea to change the A/C evaporator core while doing this job. They are both in the same box.
you can shorten the whole process with a dremmel cutoff tool. cut the heater core pipes, remove the screw that holds the clamp and pull the core out. Modify the new core to suit your needs and replace and connect with hightemp heater hose. No need to mess with the A/C system or even remove the dash. just drop the steering column into the seat and let the dash tip out. Should give you just enough room to reach over the dash and cut out the old heater core. About 2 hours and $100 for the core. Done!
You do not need to remove the entire dash board.
Short answer is you got to pull the dash, then the HVAC box (contains the core). Replace the core then remember how to put it all back. I am going to try and do it without pulling the whole truck apart, today. If it works. I will tell you how it went.
The Heater core is difficult to replace on the RAM since it is buried in the plenum box. The box has a convenient door panel that you can open to remove and replace the core. The catch is that the convenient door is on the back of the box and you have to remove the heater box to get to it. This involves removing the steering wheel, steering column, complete dash panel, evacuating the AC, draining the radiator, and finally removing the heater box. Once you have the box out(8-12hrs), the core is simple to replace.
You want to be sure that the core is the problem before you undertake this process. If there is a strong smell of antifreeze in the cab or a puddle of coolant on the passenger side floor, the diagnosis is easy.
Check that the radiator is full, not the overflow tank, the radiator. On a cold engine you can remove the radiator cap and check the level. It should be full. If there is air in the system it will affect cab heating and engine cooling.
Another good check is to feel the two heater hoses going into the firewall from a cold start. The hoses should warm up at about the same rate and get uncomfortably hot-close to radiator temperature.
If the core appears to be OK, the next concern is with the blend doors that divert air through the heater core. This is a common failure on the RAM. Check heatertreater.net for an explanation of the operation of the system and a fix for the common problems. The RAM has four different DC servo motor controlled air flow doors that are susceptible to failure and all of these need to be checked by either observing the symptoms of failure or reading the codes. The problems are easy to fix with the HeaterTreater kits, but the OEM dealer fix requires removing the plenum box as described above. It is a costly repair if you take it back to the dealer and are not under warranty.
i have a 99 dodge ram 1500 and i think set up is the same, u have to pull the whole dash and it is on the passenger side ride beside the cup holder i i know it wasent much p.s. it is a pain in the butt to pull the dash, i didnt it and mine fell apart
Before replacing the heater core, you want to be 100% sure that this is the problem before undertaking a difficult/expensive job. If you have a puddle of coolant on the passenger side floor or smell the sweet odor of antifreeze escaping into the passenger compartment, the core is bad and needs to be replaced. If the problem is just no heat, you need to be sure the core is flowing correctly. An easy check is to feel the two radiator hoses going into the firewall from a cold start. They should warm up at about the same rate and get uncomfortably hot. It's also not a bad idea to do a radiator flush/clean for both heater efficiency and better engine cooling. Prestone makes a good diy kit that you can find at Wally World.
Is it still under warranty? If not, then you need to go to a car parts store, and get arepair manual for your car.They cost about $16.00Or, go to a Public Library.
How do you replace the neutral safety switch on a 1991 Dodge Caravan?
How do you replace the water pump on a 2000 Dodge Durango?
First drain the radiator. Then you'll need to remove the fan and shroud. Then remove the belts, water pump pulley, and hoses. Make note of how the belts run. When removing the water pump, note which length bolts came from which holes so you can get them back on right. Also note the position of any brackets attached to the pump.
Be sure to scrape the mating surface on the engine clean, especially old gasket material. Match the new pump up to the old one to make sure they're identical. Apply a thin coat of RTV sealant(Permatex, etc) to the new pump, then mate the gasket to it. Slide a couple bolts into their holes to keep the gasket positioned correctly. Apply sealant to the engine side of the gasket, then carefully mate the pump to the engine and bolt it in. Be sure to also bolt back on any attached brackets. Do not overtighten the bolts as you'll crush the gasket. If you have a torque wrench, the bolts should be tightened to 40in-lbs on the 4.7L V8, or 30in-lbs on the V6 and all other V8's. 23in-lbs if you're unlucky enough to have a 4-cylinder.
Reinstall everything else you took off, check the belt tension before replacing the fan and shroud. Fire it up and check for leaks.
How do you change the starter on a 1987 to 1996 Dodge Dakota?
For 4 Cyl.:
Start by disconnecting the neg. battery cable from battery. Then remove the heat shield clamp and shield (if equipped). If OHC model, then the air pump tube needs to be loosened at the exhaust manifold and the bracket swivelled clear of the starter as well as removing the exhaust pipe bracket from the tranny bellhousing. Disconnect the battery cable from the starter and the solenoid wire from the starter solenoid. Now remove the bolts attaching the starter to the bellhousing or block. Finally, remove the starter. Note: some OHC models have a shim between the starter and the block, don't lose it and don't forget to reinstall it when starter is replaced. Starter installation is the reverse of removal.
For V6/V8:
Start by disconnecting the neg. battery cable from the battery. Then undo the steering shaft coupling from the steering gear (mark the relationship of the steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft and unbolt or remove the rollpin from the coupling) and move it out of the way. Remove the starter mounting bolts. Finally, remove the starter by moving it forward and lifting up and out. Starter installation is the reverse of removal.
For 1991 Dakota with 318cid engine: It is a fairly simply procedure, albeit a little tricky.
First, you'll need your replacement starter, which can be bought either new from a dealership or parts supplier. You can also buy them used from a wrecking yard, which can often be more practical.
Once that's done, the fun can begin. You should first disconnect the negative terminal of your battery so you don't get zapped. Then, find the starter. On the 5.2 V8, it's the cylindrical device located directly beneath the drivers side exhaust manifold. You should first remove the nuts securing the starter to it's wiring harness. There are two. Without taking the whole truck apart, the easiest way to get at these is by removing the plastic/soft material wheel well cover, which is held in place by plastic studs. These studs are removable by applying pressure on the opposite side (inside the hood) and can be pushed back into place after you're done.
Once the two bolts connecting the electrical on top are gone, you can remove the bolt and the nut connecting the starter to the engine block. These are quite difficult to reach beyond taking your exhaust manifolds or engine out, but it can be done with a little lankiness. Try working from under the truck (this is best with a helper) or once again through the wheel well.
With those gone, the starter should move forwards. It is likely stuck in place after some time under there, so you may need an application of the fine adjustment device, also known as a hammer. To remove it from the truck, you'll need to move it forward squeezing/forcing it past the exhaust manifold. If you're looking from under the truck, you should find a gap big enough to get it down through. Once again, it is good to have a buddy for this job. Getting the starter out or in is very tight, but entirely possible. With a little brain work and elbow grease, it should come out just fine.
Replacement is the opposite of removal.
Answeri have a 87 dodge Dakota v-6 pick upat the bottom of the bell housing there are 2 bolts one on each side that hook to a bracket.that hooks to the moter.remove both bottom bolts,you will be able to move and bend the bracket on the starter side out of the way,also will be able to pull the sheet metal gauard from the lower half of the bell housing out.take the top and bottom bolts out of the starter you will need to twist and turn the starter to get it out.but its not all that bad.that is the way i did mine hope this was some help to you DaveGo to a site called clubdsm.com there will be all ur awnsers there..
Where is the speed sensor on 1999 Dodge Durango?
The "rear speed sensor" should be located on the transfer case. Beware that you lose transmission fluid when you pull the old one out. It is a really easy fix though. It only takes about five minutes. On my 1999 Durango 4X4 with rear antilock brakes, the sensor for the antilock brakes, the speedometer, and the automatic door locks, is located on the rear differential. It's a magnetic sensor that has a retaining device, and slides into the top of the differential case. Getting the old one loose was challenging. The replacement went in pretty easily. Unplug the wire, remove the retaining hardware, pull or pry the old sensor out, put the new one in, replace the retaining hardware, and plug it back in. This instantly restored operation of the speedometer, and cleared the antilock brake fault. I didn't have to disconnect the battery to accomplish this, though for best safety to the computer, this would probably be a good idea. Also, supporting the truck with jack stands on the frame, so the differential is hanging off the the springs, greatly improves access to the area of the differential you're trying to get to. Even better is to get it up high enough to sit/stand under the truck.
Where is the location for the main relay on a 93 Honda accord 5 spd?
it is behind the speedometer and gauges,you have to pull the whole dash out to get to it and you will see it it says main relay on it

What causes a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 oil pressure gauge to drop to zero when stopped or low RPM?
First, an oil pressure gauge reads pressure in the engine oil lubricating system. IF it shows low, or no pressure, then that is what it means.
Most vehicle oil pumps are mechanically driven off the engine so when the engine is OFF [I have to assume that is what you mean by "stopped"] the pump is not operating [turning] and thus there can be no pressure to be indicated.
The oil pump output, and thus the pressure in the system, is directly proportional to the engine RPM. The higher the RPM, the higher the pressure indicated, and the lower the RPM, the lower the indicated pressure.
IF the pressure is indicating very low, or none, there could be several causes, but... the most common cause is that the engine idle speed is set too low, and requires readjustment.
On the other hand, it could be be caused by wear in the engine areas through which the oil flows and lubricates, or it could be that the oil has broken down, lost its viscosity and become too "thin."
As a first step in remedying the issue, or determining the cause, I suggest you replace both the oil [with the vehicle manufacturer's recommend oil] and the oil filter. IF that does not solve the problem, my next step would be to have a qualified engine performance technician check the idle speed and if necessary, properly reset the idle speed.
If these two preventive maintenance steps do not correct the problem, then you need a PROFESSIONAL engine mechanic to troubleshoot the engine for other causes.
How do you turn off the maintenance light on a 1992 doge ram charger?

How many horsepower does the engine in the 2014 RAM 3500 have?

How do you change a wheel bearing on a 2000 dodge 4 wheel drive ram 2500?
The bearing comes as a complete hub assembly. Remove wheel. Remove brake caliper and bracket (together) by taking out the two 12 point 16mm bolts on the upper and lower ends of the caliper bracket. Then slide the rotor off the hub. Remove the axle nut using a 40mm (i think) socket and impact gun. On the back of the hub you will find 4 12 point 14mm bolts. Remove these bolts. At this point there are a few different "tricks" to pulling out the assembly. The one that works best for me is.... Leave the 4 bolts in the back of the hub in about 1/2 way. Then use an air hammer and go around each of the bolts and try hammering the hub out little by little, evenly around the hub. If your hub has never been changed...or it has been quite some time....i suggest biting the bullet and taking it to a shop. The last one I did...which was my own of course....took two days and a LOT of accetalyne torching, hours of using the ball joint press and hammering away....not to mention I did not succeed and had to remove the entire knuckle and put it in a 30ton press....which we buried the guage on so probably OVER 30 tons of pressure and it FINALLY came out. ( i was doing ball joints too) If by ANY CHANCE you think your ball joints might need done....NOW is the time. If you have the tools, patience and help.....definately do it yourself. Most shops around here charge about $2000 for the total job.
A universal joint, U joint, Cardan joint, Hardy-Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint is a joint in a rigid rod that allows the rod to 'bend' in any direction, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion.
