If I remember one of the lines needed something. They appear to have been redone at some point..

Today it got so hot in my truck that the cheese on my sandwich melted.

Gotta love this Indiana weather.

[dazedandconfused]

Your not supposed to let your lunch cook in the truck. I mowed and weedeated all day. Its hot on that mower running across that big open field.

That happened to me too last week Caleb. This week I didn't have any sandwiches that had cheese. I'm pretty sure it was the fly in job that it happened. A whole bunch of bugs got into the cab that day too, and when we got back they'd all died

I'm a smaller guy and I'm pretty heat tolerant, but I broke a good sweat bolting a tire on a skid steer today. WTF!? 5 minutes of work and I need to pound a Gatorade.

Glad I didn't have to change tracks on a skid steer today. I guess it was only 87* though.

Try doing tracks on a mini-ex that was in 30 inches of frozen slop. Quite interesting to say the least. My experience working with tracked 1935 Caterpillar "Diesel Fourty" and gas "Fifty" came in handy. Between the hammering, prying and digging, we got it out. I use to almost encourage "gas construction" and "linemen" to push their equipment to the limits, just so I'd get called out and get the overtime. "Po man gotta git payed bra!"

So after a small shenanigan I can confirm jaeger does indeed have posi. Here's the proof

Hey....check that out..... your snow is finally gone

[DodgeFreak]

Okay I really would like to see if I could get my ac working on the Duck. I'd rather not buy a compressor right now. What do you think the chances of my compressor working after being unhooked for 2 years?

I'm running a 2nd gen a\c compressor with the the 2nd gen lines spliced into the first gen lines.

[DMan1198]

Yeah it cleared up like last week

[DMan1198]

What should I order for The Roo Hunter next month. Pistons or main girdle and freeze plugs?

[fatty]

Easy solution. All of the above.

[DMan1198]

I don't have the money for both. If I did The Roo Hunter would have been done last year

[RCCUMMINS89]

What pistons were you thinking?

Not a bad idea,it's what I've done on the 82.

Andy that compressor will be fine....IF.... you flush it,and I'm talking double good. I've used some that had been on my shop floor,rolling around with the ports open,and flushed them out. Used them with zero issues,that's saying something when the compressor in question was gm. They were the old pancake style from 86 to like 96,the leak-o-matic kind that would knock like a woodpecker under the hood.

I'd just replace the dryer and flush the lines,then try my best to get a factory expansion valve to work on it. Aftermarket one suck big'uns
