but when I do, I'm extremely glad to have it!
I'm sure that I will too. My biggest worry is that I ordered a Four Seasons compressor. Wes was saying that he had some quality issues with some of them. It seemed like just about every one that I saw was either the Four Seasons brand, made by Four Seasons and kind of rebranded, or cost double what I paid for this one. From what I seem to remember, Valeo made the original ones, but the only Valeo compressors that I could find were all for the serpentine set up even though they were listed as "fits 1985 F250 with a 6.9L".

Yeah I was less than impressed with the quality of the four seasons parts I ordered. Some of the bends in the tubing on the evap core and dryer were off enough to be a real nuisance. I was worried about aftermarket quality and managed to track down a NOS compressor when I did mine.

Working our way down from Portland to Redding to meet up with some friends. This will be the first long road trip with the little one so we'll see how he likes it. Taking some extra stops.

Made it back home just in time for it to get hot at home. At least the AC worked the whole trip. Kinda figured out how many breaks the little one needs so we where able to make it back in one day without sleeping at a rest area. Truck ran well and we avoiding buying too much of that expensive Califorbia diesel.

Changed the NP435 gear oil and inspected the gears after driving a year on my rebuild, changed leaking 12AN remote oil filter hoses, ran some type F ATF through pump because of sticking metering valve, Changed the main fuel filer and looking for new tires..

All three filters replaced. My water separator on the firewall, stock fuel filter, and coolant bypass all WIX. Filled each fuel filter with ATF. Man do I love how quiet it runs on ATF.

I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I don’t know what the heck has been going on for the last 2 months but this truck has been 1 thing after another. If you look closely at the photo, my firewall is talking every time I hit the clutch.
