Guys, FYI: There is an aftermarket Oriface tube on the market that is easier on your compressor and will help your a/c to run cooler-I bought one for my old '94 F150 and my Nephew still has the truck & his a/c is much cooler than mine in my '99 F350 with the vacuum line mod-If I ever have to repair or service my a/c one of these gems is going in!
I think we still have the paperwork/receipt for it-if anyone needs to know more....
The smart oriface tube is at Home Page of Cool Profit$ Magazine I think this is the one that was recomended by a member on the FTE many years ago, and I can testify as to how well it works!

Order coming your way Ed, I finally saved up the coin to get my AC back together.
I ordered the Compressor, Condensor and dehydrator. The only reason I ordered the
condensor is mine has almost 300K on it and is looking pretty bad. I am going to take it
to a shop and have them install the parts. I will probably need a new orifice as well but
they are cheap so I can pick up one locally.
Wish me luck!!

Its not a bad job, but it will turn out better if the experts do it... I did mine a few years ago, my AC works, but not like my 97's... It would frezze you out of the cab!
