Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
Line-A/C Discharge
The A/C discharge line is the refrigerant line that goes from the A/C compressor to the A/C condenser and has an integral fitting for the A/C pressure
transducer.
The A/C discharge line for the 5.9L Diesel engine is serviced as an assembly with the suction 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 correct O-ring seal will cause the refrigerant system connection to leak.
The A/C discharge line has no serviceable parts except the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of
rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is removed and installed.
If the A/C discharge line is found to be leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
