6-7 hours book time is my guess including evac and recharge. Yes they do have evap core problems. This can also be made worse by parking under trees and having the evap case fill with leaf debris. $1750 sounds about right (expensive none the less) and yes, for all practical purposes the dash will be removed... Layed back in the seat to gain access to the case for R&R Curt Actual working time is irrelevant for the labor charge on standard labor operations.
Oh yeah...THAT'S gonna leave a mark!

This issue is not unique to Chrysler GM has had a lot of trouble as well R134 will leak from smaller holes then R12 did, that said its a big job the first time you do one.

I agree the whole dash comes out.The 134 when they first came out with it most instructors told you not to breath it.There was a few cases of people having heart problems from inhaling the stuff.If its a tiny leak some sealer might seal it.We used one that Advanced sold and it worked in most cases.Rocky

Both my 01 Ram and 00 Town and country had the evap go at around 80-90K miles.. Chrysler ate the T&C, which also need blend door work Dealer said that job was near $2K billed to old Chrysler.. My 01 Ram was my nickel about $1200 at a local shop including a new heater core..Yes the heater core is a time bomb as well..do it while it is apart.
