and I guess an AC compressor, drier, oriface tube and some oil belong on a list too. maybe I'll put that off 'till spring at this point.

We literally should combine our trucks' a/c problems to have two trucks with good A/C.

My truck's a/c is broken but in a completely opposite way. It gets WAY too cold, kinda feel like as if I open a freezer. If I let it running long enough I'll get zero air flow due to the evaporator all iced up. I need to turn the a/c off perodically to keep the ice down.

you could be overcharged?
I don't remember if there's an evap temp sensor on the 2nd gen but if there isn't I'm not sure how they are supposed to prevent that. There probably is one and it's probably failed. IDK if there could be any way to get to it without pulling and splitting the HVAC box

There's high and low pressure switches I believe because my truck have orifice tube. I think the low pressure switch (on cold side, post evaporator) is bad so it don't turn off when the pressure get too low.

and technically no, overcharge don't make a/c colder. overcharge will act similar to undercharge (cycling, mostly due to too high pressure on hot side).
I plan to literally tear down my dash down to firewall eventually.... I will need to do that to put in the dash I got from you in like 3 years ago? Major job to replace the dash so I am holding it off until I have everything I'll need to do everything else while I'm there anyhow... heater core, evaporator, some hvac door actuators (none are broke right now but might as well replace the ones that's not easily replaced when all assembled, 20 years old now and 300k, so something has to give anytime soon) and rewire most, if not, everything behind the dash and possibly new, custom cluster to get my gauges off my a pillar.... I only can do so much...

Need to do rear brakes this week. Have to check the parts pile to see if I have pads. I know I have ebrake shoes and hardware kit in stock.... may need rotors too, haven't looked but grinding on brake application is noted.

I want a 20" single row on everything I drive. Better than high beams.

Missed this a LOT this trip. It died. I get a tiny flicker when power is applied and removed.

It's been wet inside for a while. I'm sure the board turned green :(
Not sure I'll have a chance to double check power is good before next trip but I don't think I'm that lucky.

Sounds like  a power issue, Let me know after you check power and we can get a new one on the way.

Least favorite job complete. Took about 75m to tires off with a decent bit of 10#ing

Needs pads and rotors. Weeee

I have found the secret to talking duals off is get a Porta power and push the rims off. Way less effort and cursing

I was wishing for a porta power.

I imagine real truck wheels are even more fun.

I have not had any issues with my dump truck but my 20 ton trailer I think a Porta power is the only way if the person before you didn't put never seize on there
