problem #2

2010Jan 06

Ram 2500 Quad Cab 4x4 Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

The dealer wanted over $800 to fix this, the part was $35.00. I bought the part and did it myself, at least 12 hours of labor and a huge, HUGE pain in the ass. Dodge is well aware of this problem and has NOT, I repeat NOT fixed it as of the 2009 model year. They now actually tell people not to change the direction of the air while the fan is on, or the air pressure will break the crappy little door/hinge unit the moves in relation to the air direction selected.

problem #1

2006Oct 11

Ram 2500 SLT 5.9L Cummins Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

You could turn the fan on, but no air would blow out any of the vents. Found out the problem was that the damper that moves to divert air from the vents to defrost, to the feet, etc. is controlled by vacuum. If the hose goes bad, the damper just closes and you can't get air out from any of the vents. It took a week to fix (the whole dash has to be removed just for them to find the problem, and then order the part.) The day I got it back, I tested it before leaving the dealership. I broke again as I was testing it. Took another week to get another part. Two years later, I can still tell that it doesn't work quite like it should. I am just waiting for it to break again.
