I just wanted to say a huge thank you. My truck had almost no airflow and now it blows my beautiful mullet hair back.

I just wanted to let you know this video right here save me so much time and money. I really appreciate it. God bless on another note. I think it’s really stupid how the Dodge ram does not come with a Van blower motor filter my truck didn’t have one either and I had to do the same thing you did in this video to make my AC start blowing harder. God bless and thank you again very much.

Reuben, you are brilliant! I’ve been watching videos and reading forums for weeks trying to figure out why my fan motor isn’t blowing hard enough in my 2015 Dodge Ram. No one except you (that I could find) realized the coil was acting as a filter. Then you’re solution to the problem that didn’t involve tearing the whole dash out is brilliant. I did exactly what you showed on the video and now my fan blows strong. I live in Texas so the AC needs to blow very strong. I am 51 years old and am a mechanic by trade. I am so grateful that I can learn from you young guys too :)

My neck hurts just watching this. Good job getting the video of the whole process with the funky hole and the coil. I think that was either pollen or mold blocking it up. That coil cleaner product worked well.

I've watched at least a dozen videos for this process and this is by far the best. I was also thinking of using foam and blowing from the oposite side of the evap but I wasnt sure if it was visible. You can confirmed the backside of the evap is easily accessed, thank you!!!

This is the only view I've seen that shows how to open the space for a filter. Also the only one I've seen that shows a way to clean core inside. Thanks so very much.

Can I just say you guys are pineapple lifesavers, they are the best ones! Thank you so much for saving me hundreds at a mechanic

Nice fix a gem of a video. Surprising how so much you have to filter to get to the answer you need. Nice job guys

I like to say That You young Guys just opened My Mind Up to Fix My 99 Dodge Ram AC unit someday. And where U2 opened the wall up & clean out the problem and then patch the holes up that was amazing that part blow my mind. Thank u so much for the info💯💓

Thank you for your video. It helped me clean the evaporator coil of my 2015 Doge Ram 3500. I didn't use any water or sprays. Removed resistor, and pushed in 4" diameter dryer vent brush and pushed it all around. It dislodged all the caked on dirt, and I vacuumed the dirt out using wet and dry vacuum with a 1/2" tube squeezed into small slot vacuum attachment. The airflow increase was amazing, and feels like original. Selfie on cell phone takes decent photos of dirt on coil when pointed up resistor opening.

I didn’t even think to go in from the left side between the heater and evap. Great video you’re saving my ass! I’ve been cleaning it from the right side for two years with minimal result

Ty for the video, 2011 ram same problem, couldn't figure it out until I seen the video. I did what you did except cutting the square and hole, but fixed the problem now I can feel cold air and good flow. Ty again really helped

have this probablemente with my 2004 lincoln aviator, dosent come with a cabin air filter and i’ve been looking countless forums to no avail, until i saw this, thank you so much brotha 👍🏽

Gentlemen great detective work and explanation of repair...nice job, thanks for sharing

Wow great job brother and it is incredible they don't put a filter there it does make me mad but you know we should check when we getting the truck , next time but thank you

Great camera work, thanks so much. Found a mouse nest in mine today and got all that out of there, and cleaned it with a wal mart baby bottle brush and some coil cleaner. Nasty!

That's awesome and people wonder why their air conditioning fails slowly over time despite the fact there is nothing mechanically wrong

Dude that was helpful. Thank you man 👍

I will be doing this to my 2007 dodge ram 1500. I already have it torn apart to add sound sound and heat barrier. Also dying all the interior so this is just a add bonus while its torn apart anyway. Thanks

My 2013 ram 2500 tradesman didn’t come with one either. Adding the cabin air filter kit was the First thing I did when I bought it.

You should consider getting small sheet of abs and some foam strips to make a door to cover those holes so you can access them again later

Thank you for sharing this video. Very informative

Awesome Job! Gonna have to try that.

Awesome work guys

Fantastic video! Thank you!

Great video!!

Absolutely brilliant,,I'm gonna do the same

Great information thanks very much.

Why would Dodge not put a cabin air filter in these trucks. Im about to do the same process for the same reason. Thank you for the video

What filter? Great video!

I am hoping my Dakota has this set up. The resistor keeps dying but there is no filter to swap

Very helpful!

Thabk you Ruben!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Awesome, thank you

What a mess could I get the part # for the filter? don't really want to cut it all up but?? Really don't want all that problems! dont know if you still read these posts but I'm trying. Thanks Dutch.

My 2010 ram has had weak airflow since I got it 6 months ago but recently airflow has stopped and then sometimes it flows again could this be why?

Okay my one and only question, are you in Houston, I need to learn how to do everything in my AC I got robbed by a so-called professional, now that I'm broke I need to learn how to do AC work on my car, and you sound like a fantastic teacher

Great Idea!!

I was thinking of this solution but I didn't want plastic weld the flap back in, I wanted to leave the hole for later cleanings but I was debating on how to make a piece to cover the hole. I was thinking I could hot glue some cardboard on the inside and then spray some expanding foam all around the hole but I am not sure how long that foam will last. The whole process also makes you wonder why the manufacturer just didn't make a cleaning port, it seems almost malicious that they didn't do the obvious necessity here.

Great information I wish Brunswick Automarts Service Department had. My truck has no air flow intermittently though. This does not seem to be my fix. Any ideas?

Wow this person must drive through the desert

Mine is leaking water from that box that you cut a hole into. Backed up drain im guessing. Will investigate as time allows.

Thanks.

Ilike the access hole idea! How much spare room did you have around your cut? I'm wondering if I can make a bigger hole than you did or if there is something in there i would absolutely grenade if i didn't stay in that rectangle area where the sticker is located. Thanks!

Can you provide some details for the plastic weld stapler and other plastic welding tools you used? Great video, looking forward to better air flow!

Those are prob one of the easiest dashes to pull ever, did my heater core start to finish in 2 hrs removing the dash and pulling the hvac box, I feel like this took way longer and made waaaay more of a mess

My evaporator core is bad. I wonder if I can use this approach to replace it without taking the whole dash apart?

I got good air flow, but my ac doesn't blow cold during summer. The system will blow cold if is cold out. Heater works just fine, i already cleaned out my evaporator. Still didnt work, any other ideas?

I need to do this but not cut hole. Undo clips. Will be more time consuming though.

What's the reason for making holes and not just spraying it through the blower area?

Did you have air movement thru defrost and floor ??

Do you have a part number for the air filter?

Curious why not make both holes bigger? Do you think that would have made it easier?

Does the filter cutout need to be closed again?

Grrrrreat vid

Good on you guys but I'd rather spend a few hours pulling the dash, rather than chop my truck up.

I dont understand how these didn't come with a factory cabin filter

How do you do this without cutting parts of the truck

Lot's of pet hair too, good job.

I accidentaly cut right next to it and pooped something , what did i pop ? It was soemthing green lol

Shop vac wouldn't work?

Be much easier just to pull it all out and clean it entirely

What I just looked at hurt my eyes 🤕 In Russia, we just remove the top panel completely and clean the evaporator😂

you might have had the same success by simply shooting the entire can of evap cleaner up the drain hose, clamping end of drain hose for 10-15 minutes so cleaner can dissolve evap filth, then unclamp drain hose so it can all drain out. repeat until comes out clean. same result much less work

They didn’t have air filters for a century without problems

There was screws on the thing you cut a whole it’s able to be removed 😂 no need for violence

Yal farm boys catch hell

That stuff is a acid! And made for Residential and commercial AC , automotive ACs have different parts that it might eat away at even if you rinse it off with Water, another issue a Vehicle is a confined space your going to be breathing that chemical 😮 it doesn't have long ducts to travel through like a home central AC. I would never do this to my RAM . Shortcuts are never cheaper in the end.

There is a much easier way without cutting up ur box

Poor engineering on Dodge Ram's part

Hack job.

What a dirty truck.
