2001 Ram 3500 HO 6sp manual.


Is this what the truck is supposed to have? My AC recently started dying so I decided to recharge and see what happens then. However, I noticed that the ports (or whatever you call them) have two larger sizes rather than one smaller one on High end and a larger one on Low end. ?
They have caps that read high and low with different colors but BOTH are larger and wont' accept the common tool that I can purchase anywhere.

Is this common? Do I need a special adapter or something? or did someone install the wrong ports?

THanks in advance.

 

your low pressure should be on your accumulator if i can remember right?

 

should be on the line coming right out of the accumulator, but very close to it, the high side should be right next to the pass side battery, the high side is the larger fitting

 

Like I said, BOTH fittings are LARGE size. There is NO smaller fitting, even though physically one is a low and one is a high. IS there some sort of Adapter allowing me to recharge ?
Is it just THIS truck? Anyone ever seen this before on this truck?

 

its not factory then, but if you have a normal set of a/c gauges, you could connect the high side gauge to the low side and charge it that way, but there are no adapters, i bet someone had a line made for your truck and put the wrong fitting on

 

WTF. The truck was bought used and it was re-built so I guess they screwed that up too.
Any way to re-attatch another line? Are there professionals out there that do that sort of thing? Repair AC lines? Just curious. I LOVE my AC during hot weather and would love to have it back (if thats what's wrong with it is a simple recharge).

Thanks anyone.
