98 Quad Cab AC selector

Q: while on this subject.... is there an internal air filter on the ram ventilation system as on other newer vehicles -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. 2810-5d yonkers road raleigh nc 27604 loballeng@mindspring.com netbeui wrote i have a 1998 dodge quad cab laramie v8 magnum 5.9 auto transmission leather seats burlwood trim. recently my ac selector knob no longer allows full air flow from the vents. i can tell the fan is working but the airflow is not passing along the right tubes. i was wondereing if this was an easy thing to look at or if i need to take it to the shop. i feel comfortable taking it apart but dont want to get it torn apart and not be able to repair it. any ideas its probably a vacuum leak. start by inspecting all the vacuum lines and connections you can find. sometimes the leaks are obvious sometimes not. .

no...and a 98 isnt considered a newer vehicle. carolina watercraft works inc. loballeng@mindspring.com wrote in while on this subject.... is there an internal air filter on the ram ventilation system as on other newer vehicles -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. 2810-5d yonkers road raleigh nc 27604 loballeng@mindspring.com netbeui wrote i have a 1998 dodge quad cab laramie v8 magnum 5.9 auto transmission leather seats burlwood trim. recently my ac selector knob no longer allows full air flow from the vents. i can tell the fan is working but the airflow is not passing along the right tubes. i was wondereing if this was an easy thing to look at or if i need to take it to the shop. i feel comfortable taking it apart but dont want to get it torn apart and not be able to repair it. any ideas its probably a vacuum leak. start by inspecting all the vacuum lines and connections you can find. sometimes the leaks are obvious sometimes not. .

did i even say the 98 was considered newer no i did not. i stated ...as on other newer vehicles one should interpret that to mean a different/newer vehicle for reference purposes. -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. 2810-5d yonkers road raleigh nc 27604 loballeng@mindspring.com no...and a 98 isnt considered a newer vehicle. carolina watercraft works inc. loballeng@mindspring.com wrote in while on this subject.... is there an internal air filter on the ram ventilation system as on other newer vehicles -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. 2810-5d yonkers road raleigh nc 27604 loballeng@mindspring.com netbeui wrote i have a 1998 dodge quad cab laramie v8 magnum 5.9 auto transmission leather seats burlwood trim. recently my ac selector knob no longer allows full air flow from the vents. i can tell the fan is working but the airflow is not passing along the right tubes. i was wondereing if this was an easy thing to look at or if i need to take it to the shop. i feel comfortable taking it apart but dont want to get it torn apart and not be able to repair it. any ideas its probably a vacuum leak. start by inspecting all the vacuum lines and connections you can find. sometimes the leaks are obvious sometimes not. .

the air comes thru the cowl that area at the bottom of the windshield where the wipers are. denny ive look for any exterior vent i can find. do you know where they are located it pulls in outside air through the cowl vents. that sounds like the blend air door is either stuck or its control cable has popped off. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i have the same problem with my 97 ram 1500. ive checked that water in moving through the core but i get barely any heatand i mean barely if i turn the fan on all i get is cold air also. i thought that i was getting cold air from the outside but i can find no outside vent. surely someone has been through this problem too. hello group i have a 97 dakota 4 cylinder 2wd standard pick up. recently the heater stopped working i replaced the thermostat but still no heat. if i turn the switch to heat but dont turn on the fan a little heat comes out of the vents but if i turn on the fan all i get is cool air. any help so i can take care of this problem myself would be appreciated. robert. .
