My a/c died.. and my mechanic told me that the hose I need is on a national backorder. According to him, I need the "a/c hose, highside from the compressor to the condensor". Does anyone know of this? I guess it's pretty uncommon to have to replace it. This one guy in CT has had one on order since March.

I need to get my a/c fixed ASAP b/c I will be driving cross country with my 2 dogs and 2 cats!!

Thanks for any help!
