a/c lines
 

ok guys here is an odd one for you. when i pulled the engine in my truck 2 months ago i decided to cut the a/c lines off to get the engine out:argh:. if i remember corectly arent they just aluminum lines? could they be flaired and use copper pipe:humm:

secound thought on this. the line behind the battery cab be made of 5/8 copper tubing with compression couplers only problem would be the little port on the top of the line next to the radiator to charge it. what could be an option

there did the original one go?

trash:argh::argh::argh:

maybe the autoparts store carries the part of the line you will need

no called them today. i called a radiator shop today and they are wondering if the orfice is in the line or the radiator looking thing. if its not in the line i will have no problem making one out of copper tubing

junk yard time

even if its in the line you can still cut it out and plumb it in the line

i called around to every junk yard and aparently cummins trucks never make it to junk yards

isnt the ac fitting the same on like 99% of vehicles?

the one you put the cans of freeon in?

i believe it is as long as its a newer fitting for the 134a style freeon i just need to know if the orfice was in the line ore in the radiator looking thing

if i remeber right the orfice tube should in the condenser's outlet line and with the r-134a fittings its usally the same on all vehicles. the only time it would be different would be a vehicle that used R-12. they made the fittings for r-134a different so you couldn't mix the to

ya i found that out today i ordered the line from napa and everything works so far

i knida have a bad fealing about this so i thought i would throw it out. i wired the compressor threw the high pressure port so the pump will shut off when the pressure gets to high. i noticed it cycles about 10 times a minut but it still blows cool air. the condensor has about 3 bent tubes could that cause something like this to happen?

bents make restricktion its makes the psi at the bent part then bleeds off the does it all over again, thats why it cycles so much

well the wires are riged differently i ran a wire to the high pressure switch then to the compressor so the compressor turns on with a toggle switch then shuts off when the pressure is high then when it drops back down it cycles back on

well that should work just fine :U:

i ordered a new condensor because the one i have on there now has 4 kniked tubes and aparently doesnt work near as good as a good one
