No codes *may* be good news... Dunno how much the evaporator costs,

but it may require a few other parts replaced at the same time. Take
a look at it for any rusted, corroded appearance. Looks like a tall
metal cylinder about halfway between the radiator and the firewall.
If you live in an area with a lot of competition, an A/C specialty
shop should be willing to pull a quick pressure and leak test, plus
a new charge for lots less than the dealers usually charge.

Re: 98 GC AC Malfunctioning
 

For anyone who is interested....

Took our 5.9 into the shop yesterday and they determined that the problem
was the "air conditioning and cooling fan module". Working great now but
spendy at $670. Sure wish my husband and I knew how to do this stuff
ourselves!!!

Thanks again for all the help,
