Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

  • Manual transmission
  • 110,000 miles

If going under 15 mph ac and heater would not work. Heat would blow out cool air and ac would blow out warm air. To have blower motor replaced labor would be $250/per and the part is $110.00. It took my husband 30 minutes to replace it. Now it works fine and two day later I have a high pitch rattle noise when ac is on. great!

  • Automatic transmission
  • 102,000 miles

Every 50,000 miles the I have a blower motor relay failure caused by buildup of leaves in the motor housing. Also every year the blower motor area needs to be cleaned of leaves
( this has been done at the dealer 5 times at a cost of $45.00) or the A/C unit makes excessive noise. I have replaced relays twice once at 55K and a second time at 102K.
I take care not to park near trees but problem still occurs

I live in Florida and when this happened it SUCKED. middle of the summer blower for the A/C had a bad vibration. Took it out and there was nothing clogging it. No leaves nothing. Took motor apart(What a bitch) brushes and contact strip looked like a badly worn set of rotors. Sanded both smooth again and put it back in. I bought a new replacement as a backup in case my repair fails. there easy to do. 3 screws and an electrical connection. Part cost in between 60 and 80 bucks.

I have a serious problem that leaves keeps working its way into the a/c interior dash section. The dealer says that this is a normal thing with trucks. They advised me to cover my truck up or park it under a garage. I have never heard of that before and I said I have owned over 4 trucks in the past 10 years. Ford and Chevy and never had such a problem
