Hi all,
This is my first post and yes a did search for other posts but didn't quite find the answers I am looking for.


I have an 06 Ram 1500 crew cab sport with the 5.7.


I am having trouble with my air conditioning. in a couple different ways.
First, even when using the heater in the colder weather I noticed I don't get much air coming out the driver side vents.
When I put the air on full blast it's pretty noisy mainly coming from the passengers side.
When the A/C is on, it lightly blows from the drivers side and generally doesn't even take a few degrees off the heat in the truck after sitting in the sun most of the day.


How do I fix this and where do I start?

 

2 things. Number one - i believe you posted this in the wrong section.. and a mod will soon move it.
2. Try putting some more freon in her, or r134 or whatever the hell it is. You can buy it down at autozone.. or any parts store. See if she blows cold.. If it goes away after a few days.. you have a couple options.. One is try to fix the leak with somethin like red angel.. 2 is take it to a shop and have them put dye in it. Then run it for a few days, take it back and see where ya might be leakin from. That way you know what the issue is. If it doesn't blow cold after you refill her up, then you might have a clutch issue and such, which i believe HeyYou recommends putting a screwdriver onto the ac clutch and listening to see if it kicks on or not. And other issues that i do not know how to diagnose

 

Sorry! Not really sure where it should be posted

 

Thanks for the tips!

 

How is the flow from passenger side? Recirculation door broken?? hmmm

 

Moving you to the correct section.

Sounds Like The Recirculate Door broke and fell down on air intake mine has done this already open glove box and with flashlight if needed look and see if there is a foam covered door visible blocking the square openings if not look down inside its probably laying on bottom across air Intake If so you can easily remove the old door to get air flow back till you get time or funds to replace old door you just wont be able to switch between fresh air and Recirculated air you will get a combination of both with door removed doing it the quick way by just removing the door for now it takes only 5 to 10 minutes theres 3 screws and a electrical connector on motor with motor removed reach in hole and you can position the door to slide out of motor opening then reinstall motor
