Hi All,
I recently bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab. I has 206,677 miles on it and desperately needs some TLC.
I have bought all new lube/fluids. So far I only have the oil changed, but will flush/refill radiator. Drain ,change filter, refill transmission. Drain & refill transfer case , Drain & Refill front & rear differentials. I will also change the brake fluid and replace the Pads & Rotors. I bought a set of platinum plugs for it too.
It makes a lot of noise under the hood. The A/C pump is shot. I will put on a new A/C Pump and accumulator and new serpentine belt, tensioner and idlers.
I put a new aftermarket rearview mirror on the driver’s side (It was broken) and replaced the missing A-Pillar trim on the passenger side.
The truck was VERY dirty, looks like it has been in a dusty environment quite a bit. The interior had thick dust everywhere. It makes me wonder how dirty the evaporator may be. Especially since they usually have condensation on them while running. I plan to remove the Blower and see if I can shop vac then blow out the evaporator. Has anyone done this? Since it has a drain I may also spray some fantastic on it at rinse if it looks real dirty. Any thoughts on that?
