Wow! I hope your family member is ok/better!

Thank you! Shes fine doesn't remember anything (had a seizure) except after it was already stuck she put it in 4x4 and mashed the gas . Thank god she was in that truck I think it was just light enough it didn't have enough momentum to break the wire and fall into the canal. And like everything else, if it breaks it gets upgrades. Hood scoop hood and Allpro Apex bumper on the way!

We lost our Tahoe last year (we still have a Suburban), and my wife and daughter walked away from the accident. What else can you ask of your vehicle?

Exactly its easier to buy a new truck, then new family.

Yea, the truck can be painted but how is the family member?

Fine fine, but no longer driving anything.

I can't tell if there is a crack or hole in the line but the seal didn't appear to have a blowout either. I replaced the line and all 3 seals that go with it, vacuumed for 30 minutes, and added 4 cans. Its blowing nice and cold again!

When you vacuumed for 30 minutes, did you then shut off the vacuum pump and watch the gauge to see if the system held vacuum? I hope so. Also, when you install seals, do you lube with some a/c oil?

I let it sit with vacuum while I scarfed down dinner so probably around 15 minutes and it had no change held 28psi so I think it's good. I'll probably check pressures again tonight.

15-20 minutes should be a good "hold vacuum" test and sounds like it is good to go.
