Bad compressor clutch...need help finding a leak

[Tim]

Expansion Block only.

JohnHere,
It only has front AC, and it does have an expansion valve on the firewall going to evaporator. It does have a receiver/dryer.

Oh, ok thanks Tim

Sounds like a bad compressor could be the issue. Before replacing it, try using nitrogen to pressure test the system for leaks. Air isn’t great due to moisture. If the compressor isn’t engaging, replacing it might solve the problem, but check for leaks first.

So quick question....is it necessary to replace the suction line is there are no leaks? And how about the line from the dryer to the expansion valve? Since I am replacing the condenser, compressor, and the receiver/dryer,( which comes with the line from the condenser) should I go ahead and replace these lines as well? It isn't that much expense to just go ahead and do that....

Replace the 3 lines I just sent you. If you have aluminum tubing between sections, blow out any debris and reuse it. I don't even see the tubing you speak about, but I have not dug into a parts diagram of the vehicle.

Tim, I received the parts in my email, thanks. I tried to upload a picture of the tube I have, but I don't know exactly how to do that. Since the line
is all aluminum and does not have any cracks in it I will clean and reuse as per your suggestion. Thank you.

Also, the valve core that you sent to my email, 43-MT0065 ,is that the high or low side schrader valve? Which ever one this, could you send
me a parts # for the one on the other side? Thanks.

I hope you're not using my time just to Google shop.
