A/C now working Well I finally got my a/c fixed. :D I had a hole in a line. It was the line that ran up beside the intercooler from the compressor. The new line has a piece of plastic there to keep this from happening again. I just went ahead and replaced all the lines and schrader valves and...

Thanks Dave, I checked every connection that I could see with soapy water and nothing. I even checked the test ports and the switch on the drier. Where is Tenafly and do they have a web site? My pressures are 40lbs on low side and 100lbs on high side. When the clutch engages, the low side...

I just replace the evaporator and drier and had the system evacuated and recharged. (see post "a/c evaporator change") the a/c man checked for leaks and found nothing. the a/c blew about 35f and it was great. Parked the truck and the next morning no a/c. :mad: Now wtf! He did tell me the Hi side...

:cool: I finished my evaporator replacement. Here is the story! I believe the total time in just the evap. replace was about 10 hours. I did other stuff as well and I started this not knowing how to get the dash off until after I started taking sh** off. (couple of hours wasted figuring that...

orifice tube replacement I finished my evaporator core/accumulator replacement and was wondering about the orifice tube. Where is the thing at? Did I need to add any oil to the new components or will that be done when it is recharged?

Couple more questions! Do I need to drain the antifreeze? I assume the heater core comes completely undone or does it not? Dont want that stuff inside in the carpet. How do I drain the remaining freon from the system? I was told to do it at the high side fitting and do it real slow. I backed it...

I ment to type relplacing the evaporator. I pulled out the dash along with the skin off my hands. It was a real nightmare until I found the two bolts behind the kick panels that allow the dash to rotate forward. I was trying to figure out how in the h*** they got all those screws underneath in...

Mine did the same thing! I took it to the A/C repair shop and they said "the pressures are fine" and another one said the "pressures are low. " The shop that told me they were low looked everywhere underneathe the hood and found the leak. He said it was the evaporator core and now I am in the...

Well I cant seem to find a manual anywhere. I guess I will start ripping stuff off and see what happens. The dash is already cracked pretty bad so I am not too concerned with the way it comes off. I will have to order another one anyway ($350). I will keep ya'll posted and ask some more...

a/c evaporator change? I read some old post about changing out the condensor and would like to know what needs to come apart. I know the top half of the dash but what about the bottom or the steering column? I have seen some pics in archives with the entire inside of the truck taken apart and...

Well, I found out it was my evaporator core that was leaking. The mechanic put his sniffer to the hose that goes through the firewall and the thing started beeping real fast. now I am wondering if I should take it to a dealer or let him fix it. They quoted me $1050 + tax to fix it. He said...

My a/c stopped blowing cold air! The compressor cycles so I figured it was low on freon. I took the truck to A/C shop and had them check out the pressures. They said the pressures are fine but I should try replacing the orifice and drier. They also told me that moisture builds up in the lines...

Well my fifth gear went out again. This time I am pulling the transmission and replacing the main shaft. Is there any problems I should encounter when pulling the transmission. If anyone can give me any suggestions on pulling the transmission because I never done this before. The one question I do have is can...

HELP! I lost my fifth gear in my truck. I was cruising around 65 and noticed a sudden lost of power. The other four still work. I heard of a nut coming off. Where is this nut located and how do I fix it. Do I have to pull the transmission or can I pull the transfer case to get to it? Is...

I thought I was the only one with bad luck. Just yesterday I opened up mine an that damn little clip fell right off. Now the door hangs down and looks like crap. Guess I will have to go to the ******* to get a new one. Hopefully the will sell just the door and not a complete overhead console...
