Re: Anyone ever changed an XJ evaporator core?
Please explain. Pressure testing is somthing done to heater cores and other
cooling system parts. The evaporator is a air conditioning part.

Re: Anyone ever changed an XJ evaporator core?
This usually involves adding a dye to the freon, then running the
system a while and checking with a special lamp for signs of leakage.

Re: Anyone ever changed an XJ evaporator core?
Yup,
95 Intrepid the next month replaced. Even got the OEM foam evaporator holder
(1 of 2 peices) that was eaten away by the oil. Had to drive 25 miles to
dealer who had one, came in big box and weighed less than 1 # for
$7.59!!!Said it was on shelf for 5 years.
Chrysler got me back though, oil and lube on Cherokee last week, raining
like crazy, young kid says left turn signal out would you like it replaced?
Looking out at the monsoon I figured sure what the hell (figuring $10
splurge), Bill comes .58 for bulb, and $23.00!!!!labor. Lessoned learned.
