any new direct fit parallel flow condensers for factory fit AC

[bautino95]

Hi everyone. I recently got my truck back on the road and converted my AC system to r134. I recently had a post about high pressures with a low charge amount. anyways, I have a new aluminum A6 compressor, new lines, new dryer flushed evap. and condenser and calibrated my POA valve for r134 and reusing my expansion valve. Like I said in the previous post I was get high pressure with a low charge. So I thought it might be the expansion valve. but since I've evacuated the system again, I think I'm going to go ahead and replaced the condenser to a parallel flow to help get the pressures down.
I did a search about replacement condensers, but they all seem several years old. Does anyone know of a direct replacement parallel flow condenser for a factory AC setup. So far, I think I found one from Old Air Products that will fit with some brackets and supplied lines like this. but thought I should throw this out there. Thanks

I have basically the same set up as you and sourced my compressor from Old Air Products all my other parts including the condenser from LMC Truck including my parallel multi pass loop-i-di loop condenser. I never counted them but it makes 15 or 20 passes as it goes to the bottom.
I enjoy Ice Cold A/C as a note I also replaced the A/C evaporator and heater core, lots of flow obstructing debris found in there.

Do you have a link for parallel flow condenser on LMC's website? I am not able to find it and can't find it in the printed catalog either.

I could not find it either so I went out and looked....mines is not a parallel flow it's the same as the LMC Catalog . Old Air does or did sell individual component's.. give them a call as they say they are a bolt in fit.

Did you check the expansion valve operation? Might be buying a condenser and have the same problem.

I plan on replacing the exspansion valve regardless at this point since the system is empty and the valve is pretty cheap.
One question since we're talking about the exspansion valve. Where is the correct position for the capillary bulb to be mounted? If anyone has pictures that would be good. If I remember correctly, it's actually inside the case, but I want to say I think I've seen some mounted just outside the case.

The capillary tube mounts on the evaporator outlet pipe, clamped securely and wrapped with AC tape.

Thanks for the reply. But does it matter where on the evaporator outlet tube? Does it need to be inside the evaporator cover ( more work) Or can it be just outside the cover ( less work)? Wrapped of course. Thanks

The evaporator exit tube goes directly out of the case. There is no place to put it inside the case. The bulb just needs to be put on the exit of evaporator. Not a big deal.
