Keeping Cool?
I had to call the dealership to get the mileage from the Astro because I got the renewal notice for the DMV, and Nevada requires that you report the mileage at renewal. It appears that I should have called them sooner, and that rather than them calling me to get approval for the repairs, I was supposed to call them.
It appears that the only repairs to the air conditioning that they did was to reconnect the disconnected heater and cooling lines to the rear. There are a whole lot of things that need to replaced on the A/C, and it's apt to cost close to another $2000. Ouch. But driving across the desert without air conditioning is no fun at all, as I found coming back from Winnipeg last summer.
