LOL so true, it's well known that Chrysler has a weak spot with their evaporators - non coated aluminum that pits and leaks. I've had three evaporators in 7 years in my JGC. The first two under warranty , the third, the dealer cut me a deal. I looked into replacing it myself and happened to go to an independent shop where they were replacing one. WOW after seeing what they had to do in terms of taking out the dash and re-assembling it. Replacing the evaporator was a small part of the job. I'd rather pay the $900.
