Cabin Air Filter / AC Evaporator
I broke the head of the evaporator on my 09 hemi when removing the heads from the engine. I had read a few times about guys talking about cabin filters. I didn't think much about it untill I watched the Motorcity Mechanics videos on changing the evaporator & pulling the dash that they showed that this is a serious issue with 4th Gen Rams. Even in not so dusty climates, dust from the outside will eventually clog the evaporator & reduce the performance of your AC. When I pulled mine, it was 50% clogged.
While I had it apart, I cut the opening so I could install a filter kit (29 bucks w/ free shipping thru ebay). The kit includes the new lid and one filter. I went with the cheap filter since I don't live in a super dusty environment. I'll keep an eye on it to see if I need to upgrade over time or not. The photos, taken after I put the dash back together, show the filter & lid, the filter slid into the hole you created, and finally the lid installed. Everything is accessible after you remove the glove box door.
