yea, its a pita tp get to unless I yank the dash, which I'm not doing all of them seem to be working so now I have t ask ( my boss recommended it) do I have the right antifreeze? I'm courtly using the green ethylene glycol stuff, and I have to ask because I had a 01 wrangler that had some orange 5 year coolant, I put the green stuff in it and had no heat in that either

 

Green is correct for a 2nd Gen Ram.

Dexcool (typically orange) might cause gelling when mixed with green, but I think most of that is internet folklore, and occurs over years.

Dexcool shouldn't cause a loss of heat immediately after a fluid change. More likely is that a system -- any system -- was not properly bled and there's air in the heater core.

If you wanna try a fun (anticlimactic) experiment, next time you down a bottle of water mix some ethylene glycol and Dexcool in there, shake, and let it sit on your box for months. Come back to find nothing has happened. BTDT

 

ok so if green is the correct stuff, I wonder if there's still a mouse nest somewhere in the box, because I WAS a farm use truck and around here in this part of NC farm trucks look old and beat up, but have very low miles mine is a 96 and has 156k on i, used twice a year, planting season and harvest season, mice lived it in in the winter time, because I DO have a lit head when its on defrost

 

Drop the blower motor, and have a look inside.

 

Ok, so you do have heat? If so this is an air diversion problem, not a heat problem.

The two are very different

 

Been there done that evicted a small family of mince from it too

. there is a little heat it comes out of the defrost vent
