• Q: How to remove an A/C condenser on 2009 Dodge Ram 1500?

  A: You must begin by disconnecting and isolating the battery's negative cable to remove the A/C condenser. Collect your refrigerant and empty its system and then drain the coolant from the engine. If you have an automatic transmission cooler, take out the lines connected between the transmission cooler jumper and the cooler on the right side of the radiator. Detach the nuts holding the two lines that connect the A/C lines to the condenser jumper line tapping block and then unhook the lines from the tapping block and throw out any O-ring seals or gaskets. Plug the fridge ends of the line fittings and also plug or tape the jumper line ports, if provided. After that, unfasten the radiator and A/C condenser and remove them as one unit from your vehicle. When the bolts are present, disconnect the cooler jumper lines from the transmission cooler tapping block, discard the O-ring seals and fit new plugs into the cooler ports in the transmission. release the bolt that holds the condenser jumper line tapping block to the radiator and then release the bolts attaching the discharge jumper line and liquid jumper line to the A/C condenser Once the jumper lines from the A/C condenser have been removed, throw away the O-ring seals and gaskets and then fit plugs into or tape across the opened line and condenser ports. In the end, remove the two right-side bolts from the condenser, unhitch the condenser from the left side of the radiator using its two mounting brackets and remove the condenser.
