Freon leak
94 B4000 5 spd
I installed some freon and the a/c worked fine that is until a couple of hours later when it all leaked out. It leaked from the side of this black rubber hose near where I installed the freon.
I've attached a photo in the hopes of easily identifying the part and installing it. It's the black rubber hose running horizontally nearly covering the engine oil cap.

Looks like the return line to the compressor inlet. Regardless, it's not a "replace & refill" repair. The line has to be replaced, a vacuum pulled, and refilled. Probably want to replace the dryer also. Best bet is a good A/C shop.

You will have to buy a new 'suction' line and accumulator assembly. It is easily replaced with a few spring lock connections and the wires for the lpco switch. But, you should get some Nylog for the spring lock connections, and the tools to disconnect the springlocks. Then you have to put on the Nylog and reconnect, pull a vacuum, and add the R134. You can do everything but the vacuum part with simple tools. And you need a gauge set to add the R134 properly.
