    Heater help

    I figure it's a blend door too. The heat is there, just not being spread evenly. I read that the door that works for the zone system is physically there in the non-zone system just not hooked up to function and it may have moved. I have been trying to find a picture that shows what door does...

    Heater help

    In looking for the answer the one that keeps coming up is a clogged heater core. I don't see how a clogged core can affect only one side but I've seen several that said it worked for them. Maybe I'll try flushing it later. The other answer was a door not closing all the way or a bad actuator. I...

    Do you have the same control in the picture I posted? If so maybe I did something wrong. I've been looking for a video but nothing so far. I do have heat working but more heat on the passenger side now. When I direct it to the dash everything is hot but when directed to the floor driver's side...

    One more update. Today I tried the suggested reset methods but nothing seemed to happen. Then I took it out for a drive. The outside temp was 28° and before long I was turning the heat down. The sun was out and bright so that may have helped but it seems that the heater was working better. I am...

    The blower works fine, just not very hot. The doors open and close and redirect air as they should. It's not a flow issue. Cliff

    I don't think it's engine related coolant temp is running normal. It's something at the dash. Thanks for the help. I'll try the reset today. Cliff

    Where does the temp knob need to be? Cliff

    I'll do that but I'm getting good airflow through the vents, it just hasn't been very warm. Cliff

    Heater help

    I pulled the glove box and found the actuator that works with the temp knob. I can feel it opening and closing and it does make the heat change. I kept messing with it back and forth and the heat got better. When the weather gets better I think I'll pull it off and make sure the door works...

    Heater help

    UPDATE: Well I was right, that didn't do it. I was hopeful but no luck. I did check the lines to and from the heater core and they are much too hot to touch for long do I guess the problem is under the dash. Any thoughts on what I'm looking for and where? I pulled the glove box but all I can...

    We live in our RV so it's a challenge but we're hanging in there. So far, so good. Hopefully tomorrow our power and water will be back on. Cliff

    I took a short trip today but to tell the truth I had so much going on I didn't even pay attention. No power, no water, everything freezing and running on my generator. 17° this morning and 14° tomorrow morning. Cliff

    Mine was below the mark by about 3/4". Try adding some and let us know the result. I'll be taking a short trip Wednesday so I'll know then if mine is fixed for sure. Cliff

    No it's the same all over, just not hot enough. Seems better now that I added some coolant. I wouldn't think that little would do it but so far it seems better. I can hear all my doors opening and air comes out where it should. Cliff

    Heater help

    I checked the coolant level and found it was below the "low" level. I went and bought a gallon and when I got home topped it off. It took a quart or a bit less to get to the "high" mark. I didn't have much hope but after idling it for several minutes the air coming out sure felt a lot warmer...

    Heater help

    I'm getting at least some hot coolant to the core because it does blow warm air, just not real hot. I'll check the tubes. I was thinking it might be the heater valve not opening properly. Any idea where it's located? Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Heater help

    I'm having a problem with the heater on my Ram 2500. It's a 2017 w/6.4 Hemi. I am not getting much heat out of it even with the engine temp at normal highway speeds. If I cycle the temp knob from full cold to full hot a few times it seems to do better but not as hot as I remember it. I can run...

    Smoke on startup

    Mine is not steam, it's smoke. I suspect it is excess fuel puddling. It only puffs for a second and then goes away. The smoke drifts away and doesn't evaporate like steam. Mine usually occurs after a cold startup and a short idle then shutdown. The smoke happens after sitting for 30 minutes...

    Smoke on startup

    What you are describing is not the same as I am seeing. Mine was white smoke only for a few seconds after startup and very intermittently. The tailpipe is not abnormally dirty either. Sounds like you have a different issue. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Smoke on startup

    An update on mine. I now have 21,000 miles on it running 87 and I haven't seen the smoke in a while now. It's getting colder now so it may come back but for now it's definitely better. Maybe it has something to do with break-in. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Smoke on startup

    Thanks for the replies. I was hoping it was nothing. Maybe I'll try a tank of 89 now and again and see how that works. Cliff

    Smoke on startup

    The manual says 87 is acceptable, 89 recommended. The station I normally use does not have 89 so it gets 87. Cliff

    Smoke on startup

    2017 Ram 2500, 6.4 hemi, 7800 mi After driving about 10 miles at highway speeds I stopped at the gym for about 2 hours. When I started the engine I got a large puff of white smoke that lasted about 1 sec and cleared out. The truck is not displaying any issues other than that. I have seen it do...
