I bought the orphice tube, dryer, freon, and oil at o'rileys lastyear.
They have two different tubes.. The one i bought for hotter climates was $30
compared to the standard one that was $10. I wrecked my truck a year ago
and the body shop forgot to install the orphice tube after they replaced the
evaporator. 4 months later i did the job myself. Right after i did it the
A/C would blow out of the vents @ 36*. Now the best it will do is around
48*. I think the compressor is on it's last legs. That and i get some foam
blowing out of the vents every now and then. I asume it's the foam gasket
for the vent which is allowing more fresh/hot air in than normal.
