    Does anyone know of a good a/c repair shop?

    Looking for someone who knows what they are doing with a/c. I have an 02 dodge truck that i can't get a/c fixed. It has a leak but whoever i take it to cannot find it. I replace the condenser when i bought it because the truck was wrecked. Replaced the evap last spring because thats the common leak spot. Its been charged several times with dye and checked several times for leaks, noone can find leak. Thanks for the help

    I will say this, if you find it or have someone actually fix it, please let me know.

    Same deal, 02 Dodge. Had the condenser in the dash changed 5 or 6 years ago because we was in the heater core. Had the compressor lock up 2 years ago, replaced it then about 6 months later it lost the charge ... My local guy said he put enough dye in that the truck should glow and they couldnt find any. I gave up on it last fall and have been trying to find someone to look at mine too.

    Frustrating

    Expansion valve? Where is that? Is that also called the drier?

    no the drier is usually cylinder shaped. the expansion valve should be on the passenger side firewall. it may be sunk in alittle. its a block that has 2 lines going in it. look real good at where the lines go into it and also if you can see behind it. its common for them to leak on the back side.

    Almost for sure the evaporator. Chrysler has big problems with these. Check the evaporator drain after running it for a while with the (black?) light closely for traces of the dye. We do a bunch of Chrysler evaporators. You can also stick an electronic detector in the evap. drain. It may work. Most of the leak detectors are not worth a sh*t.
