2000 Durango AC leak at manifold
Hey guys, i hope this isnt a repeat but i didnt see it anywhere in the old stuff.
2000 D with 4.7 developed a leak between the compressor and the manifold (2 lines bolted to the compressor). This happened 2 years ago so rhe other day i installed a new desiccant canister and replaced the manifold line. Wouldn’t you know its still leaking from the same location, only worse now. Im beating my head on the wall here. Is there an oversized seal for this location or some other known fix im missing? i have the ac charge manifold and vacuum pump etc to charge it correctly if i can fix this. The compressor still works great, id hare to drop $230 for a new one when a better seal would fix it. PLEASE HELP! Tia |

You are in the right spot..... :)
Did you put a little oil on the o-rings before installation? Keep in mind, the a/c system operates under some serious pressure, and even the slightest nick in the o-ring will cause a leak. |

Ah, I remember those. :)
If the ones you are getting are aftermarket, they may not be thick enough. They can't be real hideously expensive at the dealer... though, refrigerant ain't cheap..... |
