Supermutt Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 ok, I realize I should know this but…. Does a 96 DM688 have a cabin air filter and if so what is the location ? Just recharged my AC and it’s working again but not blowing well. So filter could be one item along with duct doors etc. Thanks for any help !

Joey Mack Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I bet the core is plugged with dirt. Pull the duct work back and blow the dirt out. It can "try" your patience. There's no filter that I know of. But I not knoweth everything 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 no cabin air filter. as Joey said, the core is probably dirty. it is trying on your patience, but can be cleaned. and once you have the box open enough to see the core, you will be amazed at how dirty it is and that it even worked at all. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Supermutt Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Thanks guys, I appreciate it !!! Makes sense because you can hear the fan motor running strong on high but it sure isn’t pushing the AC out like high. 104 here yesterday. 🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 After cleaning the core, my 99 went from high fan barely keeping the cab cool to almost freezing me out of it on low 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Joey Mack Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I made a cardboard tube about a foot long, and flattened it, wrapped it. With duct tape, and cut a slot in the side of one end, and formed the other end over my shop vac hose. Then all I had to do was sneak the duct back and inch with wooden wedges. Then one hand had a light and the other had the sucker. An occasional blast from a blow gun helped also. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 OK that’s just hilarious. And yes I would’ve thought they had a cabin filter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
