Review on 🔧 GM Genuine Parts: High Quality Air Conditioning Orifice Tube - Model 15-5378 by Justin Boisvert

If you are replacing a stuck air conditioning compressor, you will need to replace this throttle tube. Make sure you dispose of the refrigerant/freon before opening any part of the AC system to avoid personal injury and environmental damage (jiffy lube does this as part of an AC recharge package or alone for about $80 with their promotions Used GMC Yukon XL V8 Vortec 2001 onwards The throttle tube is located in one of the lines to the battery and after a long period of time can be difficult to remove.The easiest way is to pre-lube the line where the throttle tube is closed with an AC flush Use before topping up the system to remove the oil, debris, and metal that your now-dying A/C compressor likely flushed back into the A/C system before it stalled and came out.Then I used a small handheld air compressor (nothing fancy) to "loosen" the air through that particular line. The line had three ends when not attached to the compressor (De nso 471-0316 New Compressor with Clutch), two ends that connected to the compressor, forming a "Y” at one end and the other end was a single line with an orifice tube nearby. Hole that connects to the battery. So I closed one of the two open ends with my thumb, vented air through the adjacent hole and waited a few seconds, and suddenly the hose with the hole shot through the third hole, literally with full force! Make sure you and anyone helping you wear safety goggles because using this method will throw it away along with extra AC line cleaner and anything else that might be in there. You can also try prying it out with thin pliers. The longer that hose is in, the harder it is to pull it out with pliers, but prelubricating with a flush should help. This is very frustrating and can take a long time to fish out, especially if it breaks in the pipe, so I decided to jump straight into the purge and air compressor technique, which took a few seconds to build pressure. pipe before it finally ignites. Once removed, simply slide the new one into place and reattach the leash when you're done. Reattaching the leash will move the hose a little further if needed, so you don't have to worry too much about inserting the hose too deep or not deep enough. I suggest taking a quick look or taking a picture with your phone of how far down the line the hose is before removing it so you know how far to poke it. It will stop as this end is designed to take a tube with a hole and won't go too far, but I wouldn't get too rough as the holed tube is plastic. В дополнение к замене этой трубки отверстия вместе с аккумулятором (аккумулятор кондиционера оригинального оборудования ACDelco 15-10422 GM), я рекомендую замените натяжитель (ACDelco 38159 Professional Automatic Belt Tensioner and Rolly Assembly) и ремень переменного тока (ACDelco 4K378 Professional V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt ) at this time. You can also check the valves on the high side (ACDelco 15-5438 GM Original Equipment Service Valve) for leaks as the high side will fail and all your work could be wasted if you have a freon leak on the $6 valve. I have a review of the main valve and a few other parts listed in this review as well as part of my AC compressor replacement. Hope this helps someone or at least points you in the right direction.
