Hi Happy HOT July!
2002 Tahoe LS 5.3L
A/C Orifice issues Getting the correct size and type.
I rebuilt the A/C did some modifications blanked off the rear >>> it didn't work upon buying. Kept the big size condenser, it's new as are the lines, accumulator, evaporator, compressor.
I installed a larger diameter GM orifice tube that is .072. Sitting in town going under 30 or so it's freezing cold. Get out on the road and it gets kinda muggy inside and the A/C feels like it is failing. Get back into a town or slow down and it's freezing again. Out on the road it gets muggy
A friend of mine that is an A/C guy threw his gauges on it. My friend noted that the low side is tripping/dumping. The compressor is cycling often. The high side pressure and temp is a bit above normal. My friend said that's not a big concern. And the system seems to be fully charged.
The orifice tube GM Genuine pats #3096068 is what I installed.
At 1000 or so RPMs the compressor is cycling quite abit.
I'm hunting a smaller diameter tube.
