REAR SECTION
1. Position the rear section of the A/C liquid line (3)
into the engine compartment.
2. Remove the tape or plugs from the opened ends of
the A/C liquid lines and the evaporator inlet tube
(7).
3. Lubricate a new seal with clean refrigerant oil and
install it on the rear liquid line spring-lock coupler
fitting. Use only the specified seal as it is made of
a special material for the R-134a system. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C
compressor in the vehicle.
4. Connect the rear section of the A/C liquid to the
evaporator inlet tube (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/COUPLER-RE-
FRIGERANT LINE - INSTALLATION).
5. Install the secondary retaining clip (6) onto the
spring-lock coupler that secures the rear section of
the A/C liquid to the evaporator inlet tube.
6. Engage the A/C liquid line into the body retaining clips.
7. Lubricate a new seal with clean refrigerant oil and install it on the front liquid line spring-lock coupler fitting. Use
only the specified seal as it is made of a special material for the R-134a system. Use only refrigerant oil of the
type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
8. Connect the rear section of the A/C liquid to the front section of the liquid line (1) (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/COUPLER-REFRIGERANT LINE - INSTALLATION).
9. Install the secondary retaining clip (2) onto the spring-lock coupler that secures the front section of the A/C liquid
to the rear section of the liquid line.
10. Install the air filter housing (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR FILTER HOUSING - INSTALLA-
TION).
11. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
12. Evacuate the refrigerant system (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD
PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE).
13. Charge the refrigerant system (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE).
LINE-A/C SUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The A/C suction line is the refrigerant line that goes from the A/C evaporator to the A/C compressor.
The A/C suction line for the 5.9L Diesel engine is serviced as an assembly with the discharge line.
The A/C discharge line for the 8.3L engine is secured to the top of fan shroud by two retainers.
CAUTION: Use only O-ring seals specified for the vehicle. Failure to use the correct O-ring seal will cause
the refrigerant system connections to leak.
The A/C suction line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals and the secondary retaining clip.
The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refriger-
ant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C suction line is removed and installed.
If the A/C suction line is found to be leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
