I've seen variable orifice tubes for a/c on 96 Dodge Ram 1500. Supposedly original is "fixed", which does anyone in the know recommend?

 

I thought they were all removable

 

Actually, Dodge wants you to replace the whole liquid line, not just the orifice tube.

Never heard of a variable one though. If you have a fixed in there now, replace it with the same.

 

Thnx you...Me neither...or at least till I started looking for replacement a/c parts. I keep seeing "variable" orifice tubes. articles I've reads on them say they don't work as well as the FIXED ones originally designed for the unit. So I thought i throw the question out there. My line separates rite at the orifice tube anyhow.
