Ac troubleshoot

[redeemedfitness]

Hey guys! I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 laramie 5.7

My ac isn't working well and I'm close to narrowing in on the issue hopefully lol.

So my ac clutch turns on and cycles after recharging it. I just replaced the condenser fan and it is working great as well. I seem to get somewhat cold air (could be colder)out of my driver side. But room temp air out of passenger side

Someone's suggested vacuuming out and recharging freon in their shop in case there is air in the line. I also hear a somewhat of a thump from behind dash in center and low a few seconds after I turn ac on which I was thinking could be a blend door or something but I'm not sure.

Any ideas on why my ac is not blowing cold out both sides or even completely cold on drivers side, when the unit seems to be running well

Blend door issues, take a look at heatertreater.net .I believe that’s the address , they may have some helpful information or not . It’s been awhile.

When you re charged it was it 100% empty? If so was the system evacuated first? You need to get it hooked up to a good set of guages to see whats going on If you turn it from cold to hot do you get real hot heat out of the vents? and then back to cold can you feel a change? If so the main blend door for temp is working.

It wasn't all the way empty, I definitely should have emptied it first I'm sure.

But yeah my heat blows good and hot. When I turn to ac it gets noticeably cooler although not ac cold.

Take it to a shop have them such refrigerant out evacuate it and re charge they will be able to tell whats going on with it hooked up to gauges/machine.

The newer style actuator for blend doors (not vacuum actuated) usually make a lot of noise when bad.
