What is your question?
Is there a mopar product to use or will a toyota flush cleaner work Part number 00289-ACRKT? Only articles I have been able to review is people cut holes under the dash area for the dodge to get access to the condenser than flush it out. The video I reviewed on toyota their product was pushed under pressure to the condenser via the drip hose route and after the product worked down came the fluid with dirt. I just don't know if the 2011 1500 dodge ram would allow that operation without damaging things. Advise
How long has your 2011 Ram 1500 had this problem?

Hey, my name is Dusty, and I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team. I'm here to help! This method is incredibly effective for cleaning the evaporator core and efficiently removing built-up dirt and debris using a flushing cleaner designed for the HVAC system. Just a heads up! The condenser is typically located in the front of the vehicle, behind the bumper, usually near or mounted. Although they share similarities, it's important to note that they are technically different. Mopar may have specific products, but high-quality universal cleaners work too, like the Toyota A/C System Cleaner (part number 00289-ACRKT) that I personally recommend. As long as your vehicle has a drain tube (other drain styles aren't conducive to this method) you should be good to go for it. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area, follow the instructions on the can, and hold the cone (gently but firmly) into the drain tube when activating the can. Once the can is empty, allow the foam to work and drain completely, then reassemble any removed parts and test the HVAC system to ensure everything's running smoothly. Now is a good time to replace your cabin air filter too. There are always some risks involved when performing DIY repairs or maintenance, so if you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to consult a pro to avoid mishaps.
