SERVICE
INFORMATION
Exterior vehicle body colors are identified on the
Body Code plate. The plate is attached to the top, right side of the cowl below the cowl grille. The color
code location is described in the manual introduction. OEM paint colors are generally available from all
of the major paint suppliers. They are supplied in the
form of either mixing formulas or factory packaged (pre-mixed) paint. The exterior colors and corresponding Ram Truck,
Chassis Cab and Ramcharger paint codes are listed
in the following chart.

BASE
COAT/CLEAR COAT FINISH
On most vehicles a two part paint application (base
coat/clear coat) is used. Color paint that is applied to
primer is called base coat. The clear coat protects
base coat from ultraviolet light. It also provides a du­
rable high gloss finish.

WET SANDING, BUFFING
AND
POLISHING
Minor acid etching, orange peel or smudging in
clear coat can be reduced with light wet sanding,
hand buffing and polishing. If the finish has been wet sanded in the past, it cannot be repeated. Wet sanding operation should be performed by a trained
automotive painter.

CAUTION:
Do not remove clear

For best results, use Mopar®Scratch Filler/
Primer, Touch-up Paints and Clear Top Coat. Refer
to Introduction group of this manual for Body Code
Plate information.

TOUCH-UP
PROCEDURE \l)
Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside
scratch or chip.
(2) Clean affected area with Mopar®Tar/Road Oil
Remover and allow to dry.
(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat
of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good sur­
face finish. The applicator should be wet enough to
puddle/fill the defect without running. Do not stroke
brush applicator on body surface. Allow the filler/ primer to dry hard.
(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up
paint. Do not overlap color touch-up onto the original color coat. Butt the new color to the original color if
possible. Do not stroke applicator brush on body sur­

face.
Allow touch-up paint to dry hard.
(5) On vehicles without clear coat, the touch-up
color can be lightly (600 grit) wet sanded and pol­
ished with rubbing compound.
(6) On vehicles with clear coat, apply clear top coat
to touch-up paint with the same technique as de­ scribed in step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard. If
desired, step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.

GENERAL INFORMATION

HEATER SYSTEM
All models use a Blend-Air type heater. Outside air
enters the heater through the cowl opening and
passes through a plenum chamber to the heater core. Air intake openings must be kept free of snow, ice and other obstructions for the heater system to pick
up sufficient outside air. A temperature control door
in the heater housing directs incoming air through
the heater core and/or the heater core bypass. The amount of blend (heated and non-heated air) is deter­
mined by the setting of the temperature lever on the
instrument panel. Direction of the blended air is con­
trolled by the HEAT-DEFROST lever on the instru­ ment panel. The blower switch and resistor block controls the
speed of the blower motor. This in turn controls the
velocity of the air flow from the heater outlets. The resistor block consists of 2 helical wound wire
resistors connected to terminals which are mechani­ cally attached to a glass-filled phenolic board. This
assembly is bolted to the plenum. The blower switch controls the blower motor speed
by selectively connecting the resistors in series to the
blower motor.
A self-adjusting clip, on each of 2 control cables has
been incorporated to simplify cable adjustment. This clip snaps onto the control cable core wire and will slide along the wire under a specific load to provide
an automatic cable adjustment.

AIR
CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
Air intake openings must be kept free of snow, ice
and other obstructions for the air conditioning sys­
tem to pick up sufficient outside air.

COMPONENTS

• COMPRESSOR-The seven piston SD-709 com­
pressor is used on all vehicles. This compressor com­
presses the low pressure refrigerant vapor into a high pressure, high temperature vapor. • CLUTCH PULLEY AND COIL-These are
mounted on the compressor, providing a convenient
way to drive it and disengage it in accordance to the cooling needs.
• CONDENSER-The condenser is located in front
of the radiator. Its function is to cool the hot, high
pressure refrigerant gas causing it to condense into
high pressure liquid refrigerant.
• FILTER-DRIER—The filter-drier is used to remove
any traces of moisture from the refrigerant system.
This component incorporates the sight glass and the
high pressure relief valve.
• SIGHT GLASS-The sight glass is provided as a
diagnostic tool to observe refrigerant flow and indi­ cate refrigerant level. It is located at the top of the
filter drier.
• HIGH -PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE-This is a safety device designed to open automatically if the
system pressure reaches a predetermined level. This
will prevent system component damage. • EXPANSION (H) VALVE-The expansion (H)
valve is used to meter refrigerant into the evaporator
in accordance with cooling requirements. • EVAPORATOR COIL-The evaporator coil is lo­
cated in the A/C unit. Its function is to cool and de-
humidify the air before it enters the vehicle. • FREEZE CONTROL-The main function of freeze
control is to prevent water on the evaporator coil face
from freezing which restricts the airflow. An elec­
tronic temperature cycling switch is located on the
refrigerant plumbing (suction line) near the H-Valve.
The switch turns the compressor ON-OFF depending
on the temperature in the suction line. The switch is a sealed, specially calibrated unit. If found defective,
the switch must be replaced. • REFRIGERANT LINES-These lines are needed
to carry the refrigerant between the various system components.
• CONDENSATE DRAIN TUBE-Condensation
which accumulates on the bottom of the evaporator

• housing is expelled through the molded rubber drain
tube into the engine compartment. The tube must be
kept open to prevent condensation from collecting in
the bottom of the housing.
The squeezed rubber flap at the drain tube tip is
designed to keep engine compartment air from enter­ ing into the system yet allow condensation to drain.
If the tip is not properly formed or has been dam­
aged, the system will not drain properly. Therefore,
if the tube is damaged, it should be replaced.
• SERVICE VALVES—The service valves at the
compressor suction line and discharge tube are used
to test and service the refrigerant system. A special adapter (Tool C-4803) is required for performance
testing.
OPERATION The compressor increases the pressure and temper­
ature of the refrigerant. The heated refrigerant vapor
is then pumped into the condenser where it cools by
giving off heat to air passing over the condenser fins.
As the refrigerant cools in the condenser, it con­
denses into a liquid. Still under high pressure, the
liquid refrigerant passes into the receiver. The re­
ceiver acts as a reservoir to furnish refrigerant to the
expansion (H) valve at all times. From the receiver,
the high pressure liquid refrigerant passes to the ex­ pansion (H) valve. The expansion (H) valve meters
refrigerant into the evaporator where a low pressure
is maintained by the suction side of the compressor.
As it enters the evaporator, the refrigerant immedi­ ately begins to boil by absorbing heat from the air
passing over the evaporator core. Having given up its
heat to boil the refrigerant, the air is cooled and
passes into the passenger compartment of the vehi­
cle.
From the evaporator the vaporized refrigerant is
drawn back to the compressor to repeat the cycle. RADIATOR CAP
Air conditioned vehicles must be equipped with a
radiator cap having a holding pressure of 98-122 kPag (14-18 psig). Replace the radiator cap that does
not test within this specification.
CONDENSER Inspect the condenser for obstruction or foreign
matter. Clean if present.
Any obstruction to the free flow of air across the
condenser will decrease heat dissipation from the
condenser. This will in turn decrease the efficiency of
the condenser and decrease the evaporator&#39;s effi­
ciency. These conditions result in increasing the dis­
charge pressure and horsepower load on the engine.
The use of a bug screen is not recommended, it also
will decrease the free flow of air.
Inspect the condenser for bent or damaged fins.
The bent fins on the condenser deflect air flow and
decrease the condenser area.
BUG SCREENS Bug screens should NOT be installed on vehicles
equipped with air conditioning. A bug screen in­
stalled in front of the condenser will reduce air flow
and air conditioner performance. Under severe heat
conditions a bug screen may cause the engine to
over-heat.
RESISTOR
BLOCK
The blower motor switch and resistor block, con­
trols the speed of the blower motor. The resistor
block consists of 3 helical-wound wire resistors, con­ nected to terminals which are mechanically attached
to a phenolic board. This assembly is bolted to the
plenum.
The blower switch controls the blower motor speed
by selectively connecting in series one, two, three or none of the resistors to the blower motor.

GENERAL
INFORMATION

The reason for owner dissatisfaction must be thor­
oughly understood before any attempt is made to re­
pair or replace any parts. It must be determined if
the condition is the heater system, the refrigerant system, air conditioning air flow or related to the
compressor. After confirming the condition, a func­
tional test is suggested using the diagnostic charts.
After the condition has been properly diagnosed and corrected, check out the complete system to assure
that it is performing satisfactorily. The following charts have been developed for quick
reference. If the step by step method used is not com­ pletely understood, refer to the correct section of the Service Manual for detailed explanations.

ing temperature, set the heater control to maximum
heat, defrost and high blower setting. Using a test
thermometer, check the air temperature coming from
the defroster outlets (refer to Temperature Reference Chart).
Should the temperature not meet the minimum
values shown, refer to Heater Diagnosis (Mechanical)
for possible causes and corrections.
(1) Remove radiator pressure cap.
(2) Drain 1 pint of coolant from the radiator.
(3) Warm the engine to operating temperature by
idling for 20 minutes, with the pressure cap off. Idle longer if working outdoors in cold temperatures. (4) With the engine idling, place a thermometer
into the coolant in the radiator filler neck.
