Q: how many people out there had early failure air conditioner evaporators leaks my 2001 318 ram 1500 2wd with 80k leaks already. calling shops including the dodge dealers they say they had a lot of leaking ones. why should it leak being barely 4 yrs old my 1978 lebaron doesnt leak! they tell me the screens in the cowl fresh air intake are too coarse and lets dirt settle on the core causing it to corrode. they say jeeps had a screen in it fine enough that worked in similiar years i curiously looked at my beat up t-bird and their screen looks like 320 mesh! who had similiar problems and what did you find if you replaced one yourself was it corroded from dirt or is it fractured because of cheap materials/construction i doubt it getting a hold of dodge and seeing if they will do something about it is gonna work. did anybody seems i see quite of few rams with the windows down last couple days with temps in the mid 80s. coincidence seems like dodge knew of the problem . i feel sorry for anyone who paid almost $700 to replace it. i will do the job myself and be installing my own screen if i find it corroded from debri. what a pita..... any feedback greatly appreciate it.... frustrated its not just dodge. its every make including the companies that make the ones for home cac units. leaking evaps are the #1 problem from about 01-to current on just about every evap made. icp corp makes several automotive applications as well and if they made it it will leak. your dealer cant tell you who made the part they are sublet out all over...however the problem is not from dirt. the problem is actually from the lube used during construction of the evap. under some cases it actually can be corrosive and will form leaks where the fins make contact with the tubing. the lube to insert the tubes into the fins has been changed and normally if you get the evap changed out you wont have that problem again. it has nothing to do with dirt... some will have the problem and some wont but i can tell you this...its so bad in the home end that we are now told to clean the coils right out of the box and wash them down with a degreaser before we install them in a home. since we started to do that we have not had one single evap coil failure. contact dodge all you want...no one is replacing the coils out of warranty under warranty. most of your service writers wont even know what you are talking about if you mention this to them. its not due to cheap materials..the evaps on the dodges are made as well as anyones...and the bad thing is it wasnt even dodges problem... .
