A6/axial ac compressor lines

[Shoote]

Does anyone know the part number for the ac hose that runs from an A6 ( large and long ) compressor to the condensor and dryer? I can't find this hose anywhere online or at the parts stores. It's a little hot in Florida now.

Whats wrong with the old ones? If they have a leak, Permatex The Right Stuff gasket maker will fix them. I have repaired many A/C leaks with that stuff. Once I fix a bullet hole in an A/C condenser with it.

I don't see the lines listed on Amazon. Years ago I set a work light on the rubber part of the dryer line. Since then, it always had a bubble where the heat affected it. I had to rebuild the compressor so it is a good time to replace the lines.

What year, make model, engine, trans 2WD or 4WD?

It is a 1985 c10. The A6 axial compressor came in 1983 and 1984 trucks. The original engine was a 305. In 2000 I installed a 502. The compressor and lines are 25 years old.

That line is a close fit. I just found my receipt from 1999 for the hose. Delco part number 15-3422 GM part number 14048016 GPD part number 4814546.

Is the leak in the metal or the hose?

If in the hose you could just cut those crimped ferrules off, replace the hose and crimp new ferrules. There was a thread here just recently where a guy did something similar. If I can find it I will post a link.

Price is high but genuine. The seller is legit, I have bought from him a few times. NOS A/C hose

No, no it will not. And no, no you haven't. For SO many reasons.

The one I found looks to be a factory direct order and those may not be returnable but maybe worth looking into

Pretty sure you can just cut and re-crimp new hose onto the tubing if you can't find the correct hoses. New ferrules run about $2 each, and hose is about $3-4 a foot. I have the crimping tool if you need to borrow it. If you go that route I can help as I just refitted a few lines on my rig.

Thank you all for the advice and offer to borrow the crimping tool. I think I will take the hoses to Amazon Hose in Orlando and have them fix it.
