My heater core just went. Doing a bypass. On the SoCal coast so I don't need heat. Thanks for showing us how big a job this really is 😳. Now I know what the ducts look like under all of that. And where the coolant leaked.
I appreciate your help I have the same van with the same problem.go figure .but she been so good to me over the years I don't mind putting more money into it. My AC radiator is leaking the one inside the box. And I will definitely take your advice and block that recirculation door off
Man what a great video! Even though I have the real Dodge shop manual, this shows the rotten foam diverter door etc. My 2003 has the same issues with the heater core and door. thanks!
@@infernaldaedra Turns out my heater core wasnt leaking...it was non OEM. hose clamps I replaced with OEM. Best to leave that diverter door stuck closed. It works best on inside air and keeps the dust out of the ducts. A person would have to fabricate a new door and its not needed.
I have the same van 🚐 .. and let me tell you how difficult it is to remove the screws and bolts .. it’s almost like cemented with time.. thank you 🙏🏻 for making this video with important info
I'm rewatching the video. I have a bad habbit of skipping around. so, sorry if you explain it in the video and I didnt hear it. But just curious. I've got a 99 im wanting to do the exact same thing to. My problem is I dont have cold air in the front of the van. rear works fine. Im suspecting a dirty evaporator. Clearly Ive never mesed with an ac system on an automobile. Just recharged the freon a time or two, Just wanna know what Im getting into before I start removing ac lines. THANKS for any help you can give!
