Re: [DML] Evaporator

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dani, 
   A good A/C shop can weld that pipe back together.  I just had the
same thing done to mine last month and its been working fine since. 
Usually the crack like that from overtightening or from the nipple-end
fusing to the drier.  In my case the end of the pipe was forever
attached to the drier.  The A/C shop welded a new end and threaded
fitting on and I bought a new drier.  All is good.  I don't know if
your local Midas or Sears auto store can do this,  their A/C service
usually consists of hooking your car up to a machine and pressing the
green button.  Look for a mom and pop, ask on the phone if they can do
it before bringing it in.
