I've got a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500, and the hose that comes from the compressor, and to the condenser. All I can find is the suction-discharge assembly, which doesn't include the hose I need. I put dye in the system & it's leaking at the crimps, so the hose needs replaced, yet I can't find it anywhere... Anyone ever have this issue before?

The hose on the right is what I'm needing, and can't find. It has an A/C fitting at the condensor & the suction-discharge assembly on the compressor, so I should be able to replace just that hose.

Here is where one of the A/C disconnect fittings are, to show what they look like

Shows the suction-discharge assembly on top of the compressor. I can get this part, but it doesn't include the discharge hose I need, only includes the suction hose which is part of the assembly.

Where it connects to the front of the condensor (top hose). And I've looked at a 2001, and it doesn't have this style of A/C fitting on the condensor or hose, so I doubt it'd work if I converted it to a 2001 manifold assembly.

If anyone can help me, please do. I only have about a week left in A/C class at the college, so I can get free freon until then...

Just to let y'all know, I fixed it! Got a new suction-discharge assembly from a 1997, and it went in place like it was meant to be there! The only difference is that the discharge hose is not removable on the 1997, but a part of the suction-discharge assembly. I'll post some pics later, but figured I'd post just in case someone else has this issue later on
