Spectra Premium A/C Condenser P/N:7-4526
Keep your truck's air conditioning doing its job with this Spectra Premium ac condenser, part number 7-4581, designed to release heat from the refrigerant so the A/C system can deliver cool air to the cabin. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 3500, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
In an A/C system, the condenser receives hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor. It gives off that heat to the air passing through its core, which turns the refrigerant back into a liquid before it continues through the system. Signs a condenser may need replacing include warm or weak air from the vents, oily residue or refrigerant leaks on the core, and bent, damaged or blocked fins. If a failed condenser is the cause of poor cooling, this unit replaces it. A/C service requires the refrigerant to be recovered and the system evacuated and recharged with the proper equipment, so follow the vehicle service information during installation.
Is this the right ac condenser for a 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 1500?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 1500, and it also fits the 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 3500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What does an A/C condenser do?
It takes hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor and releases its heat to the passing air, turning the refrigerant back into a liquid so the A/C system can keep cooling.
What are signs my A/C condenser may need replacing?
Common signs include warm or weak air from the vents, oily residue or refrigerant leaks on the core, and bent or blocked fins. Diagnose the system first, since other A/C parts can cause similar symptoms.
How is the Spectra Premium condenser built and tested?
Spectra Premium reverse engineers it for proper fit, supplies it in the same construction style as the original unit, and puts it through specialty testing aimed at leak-free performance and reduced vibration.
Do I need special equipment to install this condenser?
Yes. The refrigerant must be recovered and the system evacuated and recharged with proper A/C equipment, so follow the vehicle service information or have a qualified technician do the work.
