    ac season hints

    is your air conditioning not getting real cold, but the system is fully charged?......check your orfice tube. mostlikely it is partially clogged with debris (metal, and chunks of rubber in goo) i just pulled the one out of davids superlinc.......pretty nasty
    the orfice tube is located inside the smaller of the evaporator tubes......you know the ones tom hacked off at the firewall hehe
    heres some pics for your viewing pleasure

            What do you do to evacuate the system, I heard you have to have to take it to the dealership and have them do it to be safe.
