Over the years I have had to take the ac apart and clean the evaporator a couple of times because the filters did not keep the dust out and it stops up so you don't get much air flow. It developed a leak this year and needed to be repaired or replaced. Using the part number I found the price of a new one ranges from just over $400 to nearly $1000. Then I found a third party that cost about $85 by the time I paid shipping. For that price it was not worth trying to repair the old one. I installed it yesterday and the fit was great. Pulled a good vacuum, made sure it would hold, and charged it. It's working great. The evaporator is made by Omega and the part # is 27-34051. I got it from Trucker's AC. I found some other places had it from $100-150. It's a PITA to take it apart to change out because the top section of the unit is all one piece. You have to mark, disconnect the heater lines and plug them to pull the top and get to the evaporator to change it. You have one screw hid in the middle just to the left side of the heater that has to be taken out to get it apart along with a bunch all around the outside edge. It could have been made with a two piece top cover and made it easier to take apart.
