Automotive RepairPart Identification & Selection3MediumOwner$ implied
Cannot find the correct replacement evaporator for a Nissan Frontier because the aftermarket part lacks the port for an external expansion valve, and needs to know if an internal expansion valve can be used instead.
Parts catalogs list the correct part number (27280-3S500) but the physical product doesn't match the original - missing the external expansion valve port, and no resource explains if an alternative internal valve configuration is compatible.
