John,
I kicked the idea around of doing it myself for about 2 weeks. I even
went as far as buying a FSM. I'm certified in commercial/ residential A/C.
And have been a shade tree mechanic since I was 10. So, I figured I could
do it myself, Right. Not!! I got as far as pulling the dash all the way out
before I said the hell w/ it, and put it back together. You have to pull
the steering column also. I don't know of anyone other than me trying this
on a Gen III, I think Gene Rivers did it on a GenII. My bill came out to
$1100 and they did it in a day,@ the dealer. They replace the evaporator,
Filter/Dryer Accumulator, Evacuated the line set, and charged it up. They
tried to get me to replace the condenser also! WTF.
HTH
Thanks,
HOP.
