When I bought my truck 5 years ago this valve lever thing was on it and I guess you open it for colder temp driving and close it for summer driving. Now where its attached to on the A/C side it looks like some kind of valve underneath and I'm figuring that is shot and that's why the lever thing is there, as a cheap fix. I'm getting where I want to get that out of there and replace the red hose with a black one so what is the thing called on the A/C side of the hose and are they available.
