Fire your welder imfo
might be a dumb question...but you are putting the gasketed washer under the fitting right? i was under the assumption that the tubing itself was just pressed/swedged under the peanut to seal at the washer. where it goes thru the aluminum peanut isnt really meant to be a sealed joint the tubing is never actually broken if that makes sense, the peanut is just there to retain it

Huh maybe I need to try using the sloppy stranger for the next time I weld.
Yes I even have a lot of OEM washers and every single time I’ve had the lines off I replace them. Hard to get a good pic but here’s the washer that was just on it.

I thought you said that’s the third OEM line that’s leaked though? Unless you’re getting counterfeit shit.

Maybe he should try the cheap shit?

It is, back in spring when it leaked in stock configuration I welded where I believed it was leaking from. Turns out my welds are as bad as the OEM press fitting.
Funny I basically always buy cheap shit and it almost always works, this is one of the only OEM parts I’ve bought.

Also I’ve found that driving no AC and windows down tends to make me drive more aggressively. Today I got it to squeak the tires on the 1-2 shift with a trailer.

I’m gonna weld it back up tomorrow, then Friday morning work on swapping the mounts, fill the system, pray it works, then finish the ranger engine swap. Turns out the ranger needs the AC system looked at too

Maybe you need a support bracket to isolate that joint from movement?

I didn't think my ac parts were coming for a few days cause they only shipped yesterday. when I ordered @pwtr02ss led bulbs I figured I wouldn't have front end back together till weekend atleast so I didn't 1day ship and let the few things all get delivered Friday.
Ac fittings came today, I finished up making lines, got it charged up. The cabin wants more freon to get colder and the chiller wants less freon to make a2w colder
so kinda in the middle. Cabin fan wide open temps are like 60* and chiller temp coolant is 46*. If I lower fan speed for cabin temp will drop into 50s tho so I'll prob live, this with outside temp about 90.
The fitting sends the lowside way out front...if it does shred the belt it'll prob mess the fitting up but o well.
also moved the powersteering/hydroboost pump bump behind the crashbar and threw the smaller a2w tank bank in behind the headlight, im thinking that little daviscraig pump didnt like not having a lot of water at the inlet (cavitating). having a little bit of reserve also helps with the short trips jumping in and out, as soon as the flow stops intercooler starts heating whatever fluid is in intercooler up, with no reserve chiller has to work hard to bring it back down. where with the reserve it has enough that keeps chilled to flush through and get the temp knocked back down faster

I need to clean up all the burnt rubber from the last ac compressors clutch. It disintegrated and threw sticky black rubber shit everywhereAnd I thought my ac took a lot of work.
Prob leave bumper off till tomorrow and led bulbs get here before putting it all back together. Need to find some more of the trim screws also, I keep losing them, or using them in other places
