GM Genuine Parts 15-5378 (03096068) Air Conditioning Condenser Orifice

had limited control of the climate temperature, only seemed to go down to about 70-75 degrees in my 2004 avalanche. recharge did nothing- it was topped off. went ahead and changed this little office and now it's all working again. when I took it out, the old one wasn't even very dirty. but the holes in either side are so small it's hard to tell to the naked eye. evacuating all of the freon, disconnecting the piping, pulling out the old orifice and replacing with this new orifice. got my AC back to fully functioning and fully cold. would recommend!

I have an '02 Silverado 2500HD w/6.0 This did not fit my application, even though Amazon said it would.... Upon reading the notes, it was ABSOLUTELY my fault!! This is apparently version 1, and my truck takes version 2.... The notes even give the part number for version 2.... It's 19418346 to save you the trouble, I'm even going to include a picture.... I wish someone had done this before me.... C'est la vie I will be returning this, but gave 5 stars because the shipping was fast, the price was fair, and they took the time to add the notes which I didn't read.... In the picture top is V1, bottom V2

Worked like a champ in my 1999 Silverado truck.

Good value, good fit and compatible for 2004 GM, right Orifice Tube for my Tahoe, good quality, easy to install, and no leaks

This product I am sure is fine - however I ordered for a 2006 Yukon XL SLT with rear air. It does not fit this vehicle even though the fitment denotes it does. After researching this product it only fits a only Generation (1) systems and my year Yukon has a Generation (2) system - which is a larger and much different orifice tube. So do your homework first before ordering. Amazon as always took the item back and issued a refund without an issue.

Good quality part. Cheaper than your big box store price.

If your changing out your locked up AC compressor, your going to need to replace this orifice tube.Make sure to responsibly reclaim the refrigerant/Freon before opening any part of the AC system to avoid injury and damage to the environment (jiffy lube does this as part of an AC recharge package or on its own for about $80 with their promotions. Application was a 2001 GMC Yukon XL V8 Vortec. The orifice tube is located in one of the lines leading to the accumulator and if it's been in their a while it could be difficult to remove. The easiest way to remove it is to pre-lubricate the line where the orifice tube sits it with the AC flush which should be used before recharging the system to clean out oils, residue and metal that your now defunct AC compressor probably back washed into the AC system before dying out. I used Supercool Auto A/c Power Clean & Flush aerosol can purchased at PepBoys to flush these contaminants that can ruin your new compressor out. I then used a small craftsman air compressor (nothing too fancy) to "shoot" air through that particular line. The line had three ends when not attached to the compressor (Denso 471-0316 New Compressor with Clutch), two ends attach to the compressor forming a "y" on one end and the other end is one single line with the orifice tube sitting near the opening that connects to the accumulator. So I sealed one of the two open ends with my thumb, shot air through the adjacent opening and waited a few seconds and suddenly the orifice tube literally shoots out with force through the third opening! Make sure you and anyone helping are wearing safety goggles because it does shoot out using this method along with any excess AC line cleaner and anything else that might be in there. You could also use some thin needle nose pliers to try and pull it out. The longer that tube has sat in there, the harder it is to get out with pliers but pre-lubing with the flush should help. It is very frustrating and can be time consuming to try and fish it out, more so if it happens to break inside the tube so I opted to go straight for the flush and air compressor technique which took a few seconds of pressure to build up in the tube before it finally shooting out. Once removed, just push the new one in place and reattach the line when ready. The line reattachment will push in the tube a bit further if needed so you don't have to worry much about whether the tube is too far in or not far enough. My suggestion is take a quick look or take a picture with your phone at how far the tube sits in the line before removing it so you know how far to push it in. It will stop since that end is built to accept the orifice tube and won't go in to far per say but I wouldn't be too rough since the orifice tube is plastic. In addition to replacing this orifice tube along with the accumulator (ACDelco 15-10422 GM Original Equipment Air Conditioning Accumulator), I recommend replacing the tensioner (ACDelco 38159 Professional Automatic Belt Tensioner and Pulley Assembly ) and AC belt (ACDelco 4K378 Professional V-Ribbed Serpentine Belt ) at this time. You may also want to check your high side port pressure core valves (ACDelco 15-5438 GM Original Equipment Air Conditioning Service Valve) for leaks while you are at it since the high side goes bad and all your work can be for nothing if you have a Freon coolant leak on a $6 valve. I have a review on the core valve and several of the other parts listed in this review posted as well as part of my AC compressor replacement. Hopes this helps someone out or at least points you in the right direction.

Good
