How Can Proper Maintenance of the A/C Condenser Prevent Compressor Damage and Ensure Optimal Performance on 2007 Dodge Ram 3500?

Question

Accepted Answer

When checking the equipment that processes refrigerant, adjusting the oil level inside the compressor is necessary to keep the part safe. If replacing only the A/C condenser, be sure to add 1 fluid ounce (30 milliliters) of the right refrigerant oil into the refrigerant system. Whenever a refrigerant line is opened, you should always change its O-ring seals and gaskets to stop leaks. Make sure both the radiator and condenser air seals are exactly where they should be for good A/C and engine cooling. After removing the condenser cooling fan from its old location, attach it to the A/C condenser, drill in four screws and tighten them to 20 inch-pounds or 2.2 Nm. In the engine compartment, secure the A/C condenser and the fan assembly in position, fasten the lower tabs into the lower flanges and hold the A/C condenser in place with the 2 bolts tightened to 10.5 Nm (95 in. lbs.) on the upper crossmember. Connect the wire harness to the A/C condenser cooling fan and after that, hook the A/C discharge line and A/C liquid line to the A/C condenser. Attach the negative cable, evacuate the refrigerant, charge the system using the right amount of refrigerant oil and do this after removing and replacing several elements.
