Replacement hose received today. It has the same characteristics as the hose I have been complaining about. It is soft and can squeeze it more than any AC hose I have seen before. Remember I was complaining the 1st hose was flattening down like the vacuum was pinching itself off. This hose seems ide...

Further research online tells me it's nylon inner hose with fiber braided on the outside.

I pulled the ac hose off and did find hose info which is not that legible but am able to make out it says the following: R134A/R123yf other info is faded. Looking at the hose material it's a nylon based covering or not the typical hard rubber I see on other ac hoses, or whatever the outer material i...

AC temp in cab using a therm stuck in the middle vent was in the 40's

It held a vacuum for well over an hour. Vac pump off. I'm pretty sure there was no leak. How I filled it with R134A: With it under vacuum psi, engine off, I turned a 12oz can upside down and let it in the high side. until the gauge needles went above 0 and low side was up to 20psi or so. then I turn...

I am installing a Murray AC Compressor in my 2014 Silverado 1500. I have two questions I could use help with. 1. There is a screw in plug with a sticker on top that covers a tiny hole that goes through the plug. I took it out and verified the hole doesn't go straight thru, it's baffled or something ...
