2000 Wrangler TJ aftermarket ac

yeepercreeper · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2006, 01:06 PM

so I apparently bought this tj with an "aftermarket" air conditioning. Not really a problem until IT STARTS TO LEAK and you want to get it fixed!

Does anyone have any idea how to identify the manufacturer of an aftermarket ac unit? It appears that the aluminum tube coming from the high side rubber hose and going towards the radiator is leaking. Also the dryer needs to be replaced-- the place I bought it from was no help and the SDealer isn't either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest looking online for aftermarket kits and see if you can find pictures that look like yours. The retailers also may be able to give you info to indentify their kit and should be willing to do so since it would mean a sale of replacement parts for them.

Try the following site:

He carries replacement A/C parts and Jeep A/C Kits.
I bought one for my 1999 TJ from him.

You'll need an infrared light to see the leaks
