Why does Chrysler insist on burying parts designed to wear out behind so much other stuff. Parts with a 3-5 year life expectancy should not require
8-12 hours labor to replace. My 2000 dakota has a heater core leak. The Entire Dash has to be removed, then the heater /Evap box has to be removed and that means the A/C must be emptied flushed and refilled with r134. 8-12 hours shop time for a 100.00 part. Plus who knows what else will need replacing along the way!Dodge has done crap like this for years and I hoped it had wised up. And this is just WRONG on SOO MANY LEVELS!
Anyone got any tricks to help a poor $ap save about a grand a do it himself.
