Chuck Hurd:
When you say high pressure valve do you mean expansion valve?

Fred Brooks:
  Duane,
I have the routing of the hoses from the compressor (the smaller of the 2 hoses) to the condenser, then the dryer and then the expansion valve where it changes from a liquid to a gas as it goes through the evaporator and then returns to the compressor. You can locate the receiver/dryer just forward of the condenser with the electric fan on the middle of the cross-member just behind the front cap. Look for any "oily residue" on the connection fittings or on the compressor hose connections for a freon leak. Hope this helps. Fred

Keith Moffett Co-Admin:
Yup that’s better.  ‘Expansion valve’ is likely the correct name.  Shop did the work in about 2014 and memory is …..  lol

Chuck Hurd:
Anyone know how much Freon these take

Fred Brooks:
   Chuck,
The Magnum chassis manual for a 2000 Marquis states 3 pounds. Fred
