(2) Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the A/C
compressor. Cap open lines to prevent moisture from
entering the system.
(3) Remove the A/C compressor from the vehicle.
(4) From the suction and discharge ports on the
A/C compressor, drain the lubricant from the old A/C
compressor into a clean container.
(5) From the suction and discharge ports on the
A/C compressor, drain the lubricant from the new
A/C compressor into a clean container.
(6) Install new lubricant back into the new A/C
compressor in the amount measured from the used
compressor, plus adding any amount of lubricant lost
when the refrigerant system was reclaimed.
(7) Install the A/C compressor and connect the
refrigerant lines. Then evacuate and charge refriger-
ant system.
SERVICE PORT VALVE CORE
DESCRIPTION
A/C SERVICE PORT VALVE CORES
The A/C service port valve cores are serviceable
items. The A/C pressure transducer is mounted on
the high side service port which is located on the dis-
charge line near the A/C compressor. The low side
service port is located on the suction line near the
accumulator outlet tube.
REMOVAL - SERVICE PORT VALVE CORES
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARN-
INGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING -
WARNING) and (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CON-
DITIONING/PLUMBING - CAUTION).
(1) Remove the protective cap from the low side
service port as necessary.
(2) Remove the A/C pressure transducer from the
high side service port as necessary (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER - REMOVAL).
(3) Recover the refrigerant from the refrigerant
system (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/PLUMBING/REFRIGERANT - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
(4) Using a standard Schrader-type valve core tool,
remove the valve core from the service ports as
required.
(5) Install a plug in or tape over the opened ser-
vice port(s).
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate the A/C service port valve core with
clean refrigerant oil prior to installation. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C
compressor in the vehicle.
(2) Remove the tape or plug from the A/C service
port.
CAUTION: A valve core that is not fully seated in
the A/C service port can result in damage to the
valve during refrigerant system evacuation and
charge. Such damage may result in a loss of sys-
tem refrigerant while uncoupling the charge adapt-
ers.
(3) Using a standard Schrader-type valve core tool,
install and tighten the replacement valve core into
the A/C service ports as required.
(4) Evacuate the refrigerant system (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING -
FRONT/REFRIGERANT - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE).
(5) Charge the refrigerant system (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING -
FRONT/REFRIGERANT - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE).
(6) Install the A/C pressure transducer to the high
side service port as necessary (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER - INSTALLATION).
(7) Install the protective cap onto the A/C service
ports as required.
SUCTION LINE
DESCRIPTION
The suction line is the refrigerant line that goes
from the evaporator outlet tube to the compressor
inlet port. The suction line for the 5.9L Diesel engine
is only serviced as an assembly with the discharge
line. The suction line has no serviceable parts except
the rubber O-rings. If the suction line is found to be
leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
