If he investigates for leaks, it could be big bucks just for labor. We are going to see how long this refill lasts. He suggested to run the air cond. during the winter months about every 6 weeks to keep it lubricated. Your 1997 would be well worth the investment of repairing. Please let me (us) know your results from the repair shop.
goreds2,
I'm taking my 1997 Xplorer in today for the dash AC. It has had a slow leak for years, but I would fill the Freon with 2 cans for about $10 with the kit I have, and it would run all summer. I just had to do it every spring. But this year I've done it 3 times & needs it again. So the leak has gotten worse. I hope this shop, which has done good engine work on it, can find and fix the problem. I'm willing to replace the entire system if parts can be found even if it cost thousands. The price doesn't matter when I plan to keep it for a long time.
