    Got the AC to recirc. all is good. Air is...colish, but doesnt freeze me out of the cab. Need to check pressures and actual vent temp with an ambient thermometer to confirm. I couldnt get the friggin hi side pressure line off quick (cheap ass quick latch) and some freon leaked out, wondering if...

    What do you guys normally see with your water temp gauges? Running 75-80 mph 650-700 on the pyro I am seeing water temps of about 195 to 200. Sometimes creeping through traffic it will inch up to 200, and then will go down to 190 on its own. I never hear the fan but i do feel it spinning with...

    On way home, injector line broke in half!

    good idea (flare) but then ya gotta carry brake line and tools as well. That emergency flex line is a pretty good idea actually IDIoit,, way too expensive IMO but good none the less. Keep that special tool for removing the bottom lines icanfixall mentioned and you are set... along with...

    Ok so noticed the shrader valve onthe high side has a tiny leak, id liketo replace it, but there are somanu to choose from! Anyone know the exact valve core we need for the r12 systems?

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    Strange indeed. so the boiling i have going on, think thats just from a low charge (comp runs a looong time) or because there is air in the system i introduced when i didnt purge the line from one can? But then again.. There would be air in there if the system is open...

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    Alright so everything makes sense. Since i only got 2 cans in vs the required 2.5, i would be low. Woth compressor off i have 70/70 like i said. So ill get some more rridgerant..i should vacuum the whole system again, evacuate the current refridge, and then recharge u der vacuum ya?

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    Well i have learned alot about ac systems during this ordeal. So i went to go charge it and the line popped off-the one at the bottom of the evap core. Realised had too big a spring lock on it. New one snapped together, ok damn 1 can wasted. Halfway putting the 2nd one in the comp kicked on...

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    Using envirosafe, so no vacuum. Thanks for the tip about keeping high side closed. I hope to see a pressure increase on the hgih side when i am filling the low side with the pressurized refrigerant can. I couldnt see anythgin happeneing on the high side when I was drawing a vacuum since...

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    I got an ebay one, so no valves on the quick couplers. I mean I can purge the yellow lien by loosening it at the manifold. Since there is no vacuum on the system for filling with Envirosafe, only the line will purge. SO the question still stands-do I keep the high side manifold valve open...

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    so i vacuumed down the system last night, i at least think i did the whole system, honestly i dont knwo maybe i onyl vacuumed down the low side hose..how can I tell if the whole system is under vacuum? I attached a screw on fitting to the low side which is on the dryer port, and i used a...

    P9106 Getting AC...part list?

    ended up ordering enviro-safe. frosty cool was gonig to take way too long. i dont quite understand why it says to not pull a vaccum when filling the system? Also what should I be seeing on the gauges? Low and High side? Depends on ambient temp right? Im putting in the recommend weight...

    honestly,, stud it, rebuild oil cooler (age will dry rot the orings), and just run it. wouldn;t even bother with anything else.

    What makes these engines so gutless?

    turbo it though, seriously. Like I said, NA diesels are-by design, quite anemic. its all about volumetric efficiency. Only so much air you can move with low RPM and N/A port filling. Turbo it, can aachieve way higher than 100% VE. Diesel rotating components and blocks are very stout to...

    CDR oil through the turbo, good or bad?

    right-post air filter=pre compressor.

    CDR oil through the turbo, good or bad?

    Overtime, you can and WILL end up eroding the compressor fins. Impossible not to. However-it will take a good long time, as all OEMS run this way. However, the crankcase gases are always run through a separator. Particle size has a large effect one erosion-due to a higher inertial weight of...
