Because of a tool.
The AC on my pickup truck stopped working last summer. Luckily it also had engine problems so I barely got to drive it anyway.
I could not get the high pressure coupler from my AC manifold set to clip on to the line. It appeared to have been mangled by the dealer when they "checked" the AC during a routine oil change.
Ordered a new high pressure line, o-ring kit, expansion valve, and desiccant pack. Finally got around to putting it all in yesterday.
Go to put the gauges on the truck, and the high pressure still won't go on the port! Plugs right on the tractor no problem, but wouldn't engage on the truck.
Turns out there was nothing wrong with the old line. A dab of fluid film on the o-ring and it popped right on. Pulled a vacuum, put in two small cans of R134, and it blows cold again.
Of course the torque converter is coming apart and has probably destroyed the transmission, and the 4x4 stopped working...
