2002 dodge ram 2500 w/ 5.9 diesel engine. I know there is a leak in ac system. Sometimes it will hold freon for 2 days, sometimes a couple of weeks. I put dye in and ran system for 15 minutes. Checked system once the sun went down with uv light and found no signs of leaks under hood. Is there a way to check evaporator without taking entire dash apart? Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

take it to a A/C repairer as they should have an electronic gas sniffer, this is placed near the vents and it will beep if there is refrigerant in the air.
