Brrrrr its cold in here. AC working good.

[Chris142]

Had to pull the dash in my jeep to replace the hvac box its self as the locks that hold the blower in broke. Bough a complete box from ebay. My old evaporator was 90% plugged and just nasty. Even had a dead mouse in there!

Cleaned up the new box. Cleaned the newused evaporator. Got all the doors working as well as put a new heater in it.

Been playing with orifice tube sizes and charge amounts.

Its currently 102F and im cold lol

1) That's what you want.....
2) That's what I'm talking about (I hate that experession)
3) Working AC? Sell the vehicle!
4) Good feeling, isn't it!
5) Hey man, you deserve it.

Your crusty evaporator tells the CAF story.

My XJ Cherokee had the best AC of anything I've ever had. Wonder if yours shares parts or design philosophy.

My rav4 needs the dash pulled to do an evaporator quote 1500 labor. Wish I could do it

Great that you have the AC working so well.
But then you are a professional tech.

Ours was so cold it would freeze solid on long road trips and stop working.

Congrats but couldn't you smell the dead mouse?

It would have been a petrified mouse pretty quick in the desert.

 

[Chris142]

I knew it was there. Had to wait till I could get the parts + shipping time and time to mess with it when its over 100f every day.

My jeep has not cooled well in many years. I think the evaporator has been plugged for many years. The bottom of it had a full 2 inches of whatever around it in the case and the rest of the evaporator was covered in a 1/8 thick mess.

Very nice to hear, enjoy the cold air!

 

[grasscutter]

Not me. I'm driving around with 108F outside and my windows down. My arm keeps sliding off the armrest from the rivers of sweat.

Chris, you might want to consider installing an aftermarket cabin air filter adapter to keep the debris from entering the HVAC plenum. I've been eyeballing one of these units for my TJ:

TJ Cabin Air Filter - eBay

TJ Cabin Air Filter - Etsy

I can start my Grand Cherokee up this time of year, and in 5 minutes you can hang meat inside.
