2007 Ford F-150 | Orifice tube | A/C not working 

Video saved me this summer. Mine was super clogged with trash and metal shavings from the old compressor. Didn’t even know it had one. Thanks.

Looked high & low for an informative vid to find and replace ac orifice filter. 04 Ford F-150. Yours is it. Location, tool sizes and difficulty. Helpful vid.

thanks, i thought the OT would be near the firewall, saved me a lot of time.

Good evening family and thank you very much for the valuable information and for your time 🙏.

Dude greatest video I think that might be exactly whats wrong with my truck I will post the outcome

That orifice tube was really dirty so I'm thinking that the A/C system should have been flushed with an A/C flush cleaner.

Great video.. Thank you.. Now lets go take out my orufacie

Good job explaining thanks bro

If it’s a struggle, I heat up the tube just a bit and that will free up the O-rings. Usually works

Your video helped me thank you!

I just have 1 question, would something like this have anything to do with my 07' f150 not cooling when stopped or idling ? Last year, everything was fine, this year Ive cleaned the shit out my condensor & radiator, and piece of shot truck still spitting me hot air at idle or stopped.

when you remove the filter, the gas from the A/C escapes and do you have to recharge it again or not?

A shop told me my ford ranger had a clogged condenser, but didn't believe them because i seen videos showing if the lines by the drier are not cold but bottom line of condenser is cold then your condenser is clogged. I then took my orifice tube out and it was full of gunk and oil. and my compressor was doing same thing, just clicking on for a second and going off. I wonder if it was just just the orifice tube. But it would take a lot of freon in but not holding it and i used some dye with a uv light and couldn't see any leaks.

My older 97 f150 is having same symptom. Can I simply open the AC pipe to access the Orifice? I thought these pipes/ hose were under pressure?

Hey I replaced orifice on 2008 Ford F-150 5.4 3v and the ac clutch stop working. I disconnected orifice tube when it was still hot and some coolant was lost. Any tips how fix the problem?? Please

how tf does it get that dirty?

can this may be the cause of overhead my truck? i allready change ther thermostate, radiador, water pump and im going for the cluch fan

Sweet info

Is this the line that comes from the compressor to the ac condenser

I have a 2011 expedition and I can’t find tube urifice hlp

Is that line under pressure, do you have to take refrigerant out first?

Can you show how to conect the ac pipes to the compresser and how does the high and low pressure suppost to look like

Can this cause a leak inside the floor board?

doyou have to drain freon to do this?

Did you ever post the vacuum video?

Do you have a 5.4 engine?

What motor ?

and I did it wrong 👍 I inserted the filter wrong

That is from the compressor. You are not doing it right
