Default Why can I not find any AC hoses for a 91.5+?

I need the hose that goes from the compressor to the condenser, actually I would buy all new hoses if I could find them but Autozone, O'Reilly's, RockAuto, and the dealership can't get them.

You may have to have it made. I had to do that on my 91 when the pump went and converted to R134.

Yes, worked quite well even by Arizona standards. Up here, I have no use for it other than to defrost my windshield.

I still have all the A/C parts from my 91.5 and would like to get rid of the whole lot of it - lines, compressor, condensor and a belt or 2 IIRC.

Make me an offer and chances are good it is yours...

At one point in time I had found a site that sold the R134A retrofit kit with 134A compatible hoses and a new compressor for $200-something dollars and I can't for the life of me find it now. I am not going to use 134A for the time being but new hoses would be nice.

I had a leaky shrader valve... Other than that good. Air volume from vents is poor. But I need to check if there is a critter nest on the engine side of the evaporator. When the hvac box would drain lots of acorn hulls etc can out. Truck sat in a wooded area for about five years. Foam and mice nest gradually comes from the vents as well

Find yourself a outfit that makes hydraulic hoses. Take your hoses down to them and I'll bet they can make you some new hoses, or know of another outfit that can.
