    From one problem to the next.. Broken ring gear teeth.

    So, I got the gears, Install kit etc. I am wondering why the yoke seal doesn't fit and it seems the front pinon bearing will not slide on. I assumed I had an 8.5 rear diff. I measured the damaged ring gear and it turns out It is an 8.25. I thought only the front diff uses 8.25? guess I will be...

    Unfortunately when your on a tight budget and have to cut down on cost as much as possible I had to go with those.

    From one problem to the next.. Broken ring gear teeth.

    After recently replacing the whole A/C system I now have a another new project. I was driving home one morning and started hearing a sledge hammer noise towards the back. I babied the truck home at low speed. It is loud during acceleration but quiets to almost nothing during deceleration. Turns...

    Replaced all A/C parts. Charge appears good. Not blowing cold.

    Well I finally got it working. Turned out to be something stupid on my part. Since I took everything apart while waiting for a few parts orders to arrive I forgot to take note on the line configuration. I had them reversed! Doh! I figured it out after staring at it all for a while and going over...

    I can't afford it. Worst part is I have done refrigeration on refrigerators for years with no problems I couldn't handle. This on the other hand is a different animal. I always did all the work to my own vehicles including building street/strip cars. This is really driving me nuts. I have never...

    I have had about enough of this. I got it to hold vacuum down to -28. But I cannot get it to take a full 12 oz can despite them taking about 3lbs worth. Pressures looked ok but it's not cooling worth a damn. That's what i get for using all ebay parts. I can't spend more money on it now so I...

    I am going to have to wait a day or two before I can continue due to rain. As soon as I get the electronic leak detector and more refrigerant with dye I will see what happens and post an update. Thanks to everyone that replied!

    Lol I think I paid about 15 for the one I have. It has about 50 leds. Yeah, The condenser is about 1" thick vs the factory one which is more like 2" But I read others using the same one without cooling issues. I think once I figure where this leak is and It holds vacuum better, It should be...

    I have a pretty serious UV flashlight. I will have to get another can of dye. I also just ordered an electronic refrigerant leak detector off amazon for 27 bucks . I am hoping it will be something stupid like one of the pressure switches. Since the engine leaks oil it is pretty dirty under the...

    We are just above sea level here.

    Replaced all A/C parts. Charge appears good. Not blowing cold.

    Ok, I just hooked up my new adaptors and gauges. I was able to get it down to -26/27 Let it sit for 20mins. It went up to -18. So I have a very small leak somewhere. I doubt the UV dye is going to come out with that small of a leak. It's the reason I replaced everything. I was plagued with a...

    Replaced all A/C parts. Charge appears good. Not blowing cold.

    I pumped it down to -26 but for only about 5mins. ( I admit I was being impatient). My new gauge adapters came in yesterday so I am going to redo it. I am thinking I have a leak somewhere. After a few days of sitting when I used the trucks a/c I can hear the pressure valve on the A/c compressor...

    I'll be working on getting those pressures soon. Although The blend door could be a problem. I was able to see the actuator rotating when switching from cold to hot. Also the temp difference was significant. But since the rubber was rotted away on all the other doors that I replaced the blend...
