Well i have a 2000 Chevy Silverado and it would cost me a couple hundred to get it put in. So you're probably looking at about 200, at a minimum. All you have to do is call an auto parts store in your area and ask, you may have to order it tho, but atleast you can ask how much it would cost.

Find out where ChevyGirl above went, because we would be charging double that just in labor!! Granted, I work at a dealership (stealership), but an ACDelco A/C compressor alone will set you back $350 anyways.

Not to mention the labor involved in removing the dashboard and heater box to install the evaporator; removing the grille, etc. to install the condensor; cutting holes through the firwall to allow hose passage, and on, and on.

I'm guessing ChevyGirl got some sort of aftermarket add-on that "bolts-in", but I still can see a few hours of labor x labor rate$$.

Hope this helps.

I actually don't have one. I know how much it would have costed tho because i was gonna get one like a month ago. It wouldn't have costed me so much in labor because im friends with a certified mechanic and he wouldn't have charged me that much. But yea, when i said a couple hundred i forgot to add labor in.... sorry. Labor will getcha everytime. Good Luck.

thanks for the input guys i think im jus gonna wait till the weather gets cold again until then ill sweat it out

I looked into doing this a few years back on my truck. The cost was around $750 total from a dealership. I figured I could take the heat.
