I could see that but that was a brand new orifice tube, guess it happens but sucks and threw me for a good loop.Dougflas wrote:quite common. The plastic falls apart and breaks.

Re: '99 F250 Super Duty- immediate low side drop
I apologize for not providing info for the test conditions at the time but think I have it figured out. Last night I disconnected the liquid line to evaporator connection and when I did the filter/screen half of the orifice tube came out with the liquid line. I took a mirror and saw the other half...

Re: '99 F250 Super Duty- immediate low side drop
Someone told em the the orfice tube is clogged up, does that sound like a possibility? I flushed the condenser, lines, and evaporator very thoroughly with flushing agent and shop air. At this point I'm not sure what to do so was planning on pulling the orfice tube and if I don't see anything there i...

'99 F250 Super Duty- immediate low side drop
My compressor was leaking at the case where the two halves bolt together so I grabbed one out of the junkyard trying to save a little money. I installed the junkyard compressor, pulled a vacuum and it would drop about 5psi of vacuum every 5 mins or so. I decided to partially charge to see where the ...

Re: Need Help- High Pressure on Discharge Side
Ok, I'll just leave the charge level as is.
I called a few local auto repair shops and they all said they don't have equipment to recover R12. I am going to call some auto salvage places next. I have a recovery tank.

Re: Need Help- High Pressure on Discharge Side
I came outside to mess with the car for a little bit because I was bored. I usually just leave the blower fan on low when I'm working on the AC. I took a look at the inlet and outlet tubes of the evaporator and I noticed the inlet got a got a pretty decent layer of white ice on it and then the compr...

Re: Need Help- High Pressure on Discharge Side
Yeah, I have no clue how long the kink has been there and what not. Before I installed the prestite tape neither of the evap tubes were freezing so not sure if that is enough to tell us if the the core was freezing up or not. On humid days there is a steady drip of water coming out of the box, but o...

Re: Need Help- High Pressure on Discharge Side
Ok, I kind of figured the evap would have to be pulled to do the repair :cry: I have not had the evaportor core out of the car yet, but was thinking of pulling the dash and hvac box out this winter, just not something I feel like doing now or have time for. My goal was to have working A/C this summe...
