My 89 Dodge Ram 250 van has been having Air Conditioning issues. It still is not working that great even though having a new compressor installed four years ago. It is somewhat cool on the low setting but when I turn it up it is just room temperature (warm) air.
Any hints to tricks to try?
Note that the AC black rubber hose has a small bubble in it. I should probably have a pro look at it. I have also read that the slide from warm to cold setting could be messed up in the console?
Thanks,
I'd take it to a reliable shop and have them fix and recharge it. But, I've also spent most of my life in northern Minnesota and Alaska so my experience is limited to taking out or disabling A/C systems.
I can tell you fixing them takes special training, experience, and tools. If I needed to fix an A/C system, I'd take it to a shop rather than spend the time learning what to do and the money buying the tools.
Thanks for the reply. I will most probably take your advice. Getting 4 tires, front Brakes and Calipers (drivers side was sticking) installed in a couple of weeks then I will get the AC looked at a later date.
