'87-93 trucks are known to have problems with the reservoir on the evaporator cover warping the cover until it cracks, or the sonic weld attaching them cracks; particularly if the shiny insulation is missing, exposing the reservoir to exhaust manifold heat.



A problem for '87-91s is the temperature cable coming out of its adjusting clip:



'92-94 trucks with a single push-pull temperature cable should be upgraded to the revised pull-pull (looped, apparently double) cable & control panel.
