[Shotimes] A/C Lines

[Ron DeReus]

I just looked again at www.fordpartsnetwork.com.

	search on 95 Taurus
Drier to evaporator hose, 92-95SHO, 		$ 37.08
Evaporator to compressor hose, 94-95SHO,		$308.23

	search on 91 Taurus
Drier to evaporator hose, 89-91SHO, 		$ 36.91
Drier to evaporator hose, 91SHO, 			$ 46.93
Evaporator to compressor hose, 91SHO, 		$136.07
	(interesting - you're out of luck if you need a drier to evaporator for a
SLO, yet you have 2 choices for a SHO - I left out the SLO results)

So, though my 96 brake conversion will be cheaper starting with a 95, I take
it in the shorts for the A/C - they did say the accumulator or something was
built into the hose I need.  So, with time of the essence at T-minus 6 days
and 20 hours to leave for Madison to tour Performance Plus, and free freon
fill if I let them do the work, I told them to order it and call me when it
arrived - at which point they told me they weren't sure if they would have a
slot for me before next Monday.  Sigh.

PS - just saw Kevin's post about the $102 part.  Dang it.  Well, then I
would have had to do the labor, and my luck would have ended up with me
driving the Windstar at Blackhawk Farms.

Sound like a hosing to me there are only 2 lines from the evap, one has the
orifice and the other is the dryer. don't know if they are much different
from a 92 but my Ford dealer charged me $186 for both last month.

> Local shop last Thursday says I need a new A/C line, $440 parts and labor
since they are giving me the freon (3rd time, they finally traced the leak.)
Today, the dealer gave them the wrong part, and the right one is another
$100.  Autozone lists part 55641 for the "factory suction line" for $93.99,
Ford Parts Online and Ford Parts Network list a "evaporator to compressor
hose" for around $300.  Anybody tell me if Autozone has the right hose for
my 95MTX?  Crunch time for getting to Madison....
