93 Grand Cherokee Limited evaporator R&R
It looks like my evaporator is leaking. A charge to the A/C system with dye
resulted in a smell inside the cabin, no external leaks, and it quickly lost
pressure. How much of a PITA job would this be for a do-it-yourselfer? Am I
crazy even considering it? What is the general consensus on a junkyard
replacement? I know they're well burried but most junkyard CG's around here
are pretty well stripped already. Any tips on spotting a good one?

Re: 93 Grand Cherokee Limited evaporator R&R
It is a big PITA you basically have to remove most of the dash. Do not buy
a junk yard replacement unless you like removing most of your dash twice.
Do-it-yourself depends on your AC knowledge, tools and how much you like
cussing.

Ditto on the don't buy it from the yard. Who knows if it was
leaking or not. A dealer I use for OEM is www.chryslerpartsdirect.com

Re: 93 Grand Cherokee Limited evaporator R&R
I've done it once to my '84 Thunderbird, next time I'll gladly pay
a thousand to have it done, but not my '89 Thunderbird's heater core, I
don't need no stinkin' heater:
