Detailed Description

TYC 3016 is an A/C condenser for the HVAC system in select Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks. As a parallel flow condenser, it uses a flat-tube layout that supports refrigerant cooling across the condenser core, helping the air conditioning system reject heat before refrigerant returns to the rest of the circuit. The listed dimensions and connection sizes make it a focused replacement for the specified early-design Ram truck applications.

This part cross-references ACDelco 15-62979 and Four Seasons 53393 for the same application. TYC 3016 also aligns with common aftermarket and OE reference numbers used for these Dodge Ram condenser applications.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, N/A; Configuration: Parallel Flow Condenser (PFC); Early Design
• Fits 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 3500, N/A; Configuration: Parallel Flow Condenser (PFC); Early Design
• Fits 1998-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, N/A; Configuration: Parallel Flow Condenser (PFC); Early Design

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Loss of A/C cooling performance from a leaking or damaged condenser
• Refrigerant heat rejection problems that reduce vent air temperature
• Corrosion or physical damage to the condenser core
• Connection issues at the inlet or outlet fittings
• Replacement needs on early-design Dodge Ram air conditioning systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the early-design parallel flow condenser configuration before ordering. Match the inlet and outlet connection style to the original unit, and compare the core dimensions to the removed condenser for proper fitment in the radiator support area. After installation, the A/C system should be evacuated and recharged according to factory service procedures.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures replacement HVAC components for vehicle-specific applications, and part number 3016 is built to match the listed fitment and connection requirements for the covered Dodge Ram trucks.
