Ok if I'm in the wrong section I apologize ....first of lemme say I have an 02 sport quad cab with the 5.9 in it...with that my problem starts with if I'm at an idle my ac starts blowing how and I stress hot air.....back last summer it did the same thing but it also blew out moisture from the vents as well but not so much anymore....as soon as the truck starts moving the air cools down and thought its not extremely cold it makes the truck tolerable....a local shop told me after a pressure test that I had plenty of high end pressure but no low end pressure that my orifice tube is clogged....2 questions 1.) is this the case and 2.) this is where it gets confusing....yes I know the orifice tube is in the ac line and the whole thing needs to be replaced but at oreileys and advance the line they give me cuts off on the right side of my radiator when the original goes all the way across to the opposite side of my radiator.....the part matches completely up until that spot....another prob is that they tried an 03 part and it's completely different.....again here's a little confusing....my dad has an 06 5.7 hemi 2500 hd.....his line is identical to mine in my 02....oreileys part for an 03+ is completely different.....anyone have any clue why this is and if I even need to change this
