I've taken the system all apart and flushed the lines, evaporator and condenser. No signs of carnage so far. I will finish the process, evacuate, recharge, then post a detailed description since I haven't found one here.

OK talked to a shop and they said if the compressor is locked up it's definitely dead, but may not have sent shrapnel into the condenser. I'll blow that out next and check.

thanks for the input guys. I just removed my orifice tube. Didn't need a tool at all, just a pair of needle nosed pliers- it was easy once I got the line unbolted, which was a &%#$! My orifice tube is almost completely clean. There is maybe one small piece of aluminum, and about 10 pieces of...

I am finally getting around to fixing the A/C on my old gal. 93 XLT. I am replacing the compressor as it grenaded some 4 years ago. And converting to 134a while I'm at it. I plan to: Flush the system with A/C flush from Autozone and compressed air Replace accumulator, new orifice tube, new...

I've read the posts here about improving ride quality, etc. and have some questions. My 93 XLT rides not-so-good. Little bumps in the road rattle the teeth. The biggest problem is very excessive body roll, and the rear bottoms out on potholes. There is also a bad sounding clunk that comes from...
