Here are the pictures of replacing a AV evaporator on a 2000 DGC

Many thanks to Dodge Tech - I could not have done it without you.

 

Thanks Mahoney, I used your pics w/ the directions for my 1997 GC. They were very helpful. Had a few hang ups finding the 3 nuts inside the eng comp. all done. Now I just need to evacuate the system before I recharge it. Barrowed a vacuum w/ gauges from my neighbor that does warranty work on fridges. gauges manifold says it's can read the R-134a. Do I evacuate from the same port that I recharge the system? A pic inside a book from the part store shows where to recharge, but recommends the evacuating to a shop. Noticing (3) ports. (1) for the low end, (2) for the high end, and (3) that has a tag saying 'Evap. Service Port. max. 1 psi'

 

Glad to help. I took my van to local shop to have it "gassed" up. (only cost $50 - worth it for me to have it done right).

 

I have a 2002 dodge grand caravan, does any one know if the procedure to replace the evaporator is similar to the 2000. I have a leak in my evaporator and need to have it changed out.

Thanks in advanced.

I just did this same repair on a 2001 Dodge Caravan. It's really similar, although I wish I had looked at the pictures of how to take the dash out as a unit. It's not hard, it's just time consuming.

 

I like to welcome all the new members to dodge forum.

 

I replaced the heater coil and the evap coil now the darn thing will not shift.
Being down to one truck sucks help.

 

The transmission will not shift? What year is your van and engine size.

 

If you dropped your steering column, be sure to re-check your linkages and connections. also check the electrical connections. something might still be loose or not plugged in all the way.
