so I turn off my truck an notice a hissing sound then pop then hood an notice it's coming from this hose











any ideas on what this hose is? pretty sure its got a small hole where the metal meets the rubber, which was making the hissing. how easy is it to replace? thanks any input would be appreciated

 

AC maybe?

 

Just seeing those fittings I can say u probably need a special tool. Theres little flaps inside the fitting that slip over the hard line and do not allow it to slip back the other direction over the hard line flare. Not sure what those fittings are called but ill look and answer if some one else hasnt yet

 

A/C Mine does the same thing and nothing is wrong. Its the A/C equalizing pressure between the high and low sides.

 

awesome man thanks, an my uncles a mechanic so I can most likely borrow it from him. I also have no idea what that container at the end of the hose is by the cab, this one

 

Sorry thought those were "duck bill clip fittings" but after looking closer im not sure they connect the same way. Usually a replacent for those types of lines do include the hard lines as well so if u get the specific line name correct you'll be good to go

 

awesome man thanks! I think I'll change it anyways cuz it'll bug me with the hissing, making me think something's wrong lol

 

After looking at your pcs again you need to have your A/C system checked out. It looks to be freezing over. The canister your talking about is the Receiver/Dryer. It should never get cold enough to ice over. It should get some condensation built up on it.

 

Found this on advance auto. I think thats ur replacement lines right there. Just type in a/c line after putting in ur make and model. Now good luck finding the cause to the problem

 

thanks man that's the same one I got when I typed my stuff in.



there seems to be a small receiver/dryer on this hose



if I get that one do I need to get a new receiver as well?
