    Change from 2:73 to 3:73

    Pretty sure the carrier series matters. I don't think you can just install a 3:73 ring gear on a 2.73 carrier. May be wrong. I know for a fact you can go from 3.73 to 4.10. But not sure about 2.73 to 3.73Need to pull the cover, and get the numbers off the carrier to see what series it is. Or...

    A vacuum also shows you if you have leaks or not. Before you waste refrigerant.

    Replacing compressor

    When you vacuum you remove moisture from the system so it doesn't freeze and it will cool better. Also if the compressor ate itself you need to flush the system, as their may be particles and contaminates in it. Also, replace the dryer, orifice tube and I like to replace the condenser cause they...

    Replacing compressor

    Just crack the lines on the compressor and let it leak out. Your little 36 oz of refrigerant won't put a dent in the ozone compared to what big industrial has done for a hundred years. Then change the compressor, pull a vacuum and recharge

    Dad has cancer-help me fix his AC please

    I know it's been over a year but thanks for the kind words. I miss my dad everyday. We would call each other before we did anything mechanical and just kind of bullshit and mull it over. I've had to learn so much the last year on my own, and I've become a great mechanic I think, but I still wish...

    Screw California - Passed Smog Except for Gas Cap/Evap

    Couldn't make a sort of ribbon that lets it hang from the tank after you unscrew it like the new trucks? They even have a little tab on inside of the fuel door to hang the ribbon on

    AC compressor clutch Q

    Hey guys it seems as though my clutch has gone out on my AC compressor. It's been cycling fast as hell for several weeks, started slowly then got worse, I checked my refrigerant level and I added a half a can getting it back to normal. Haven't added any in 3 years. Anyways, that quietened down...

    Yes, I got 35's last week so I had to get it fixed. I'm in Jamaica for the week, but I had my brother bring it to the local off-road shop and they fixed it. He's supposed to pick it up tomorrow. I talked to their mechanic last week before I decided to drop it off a he sounded like he knew how to...

    Tip for brighter turn signals /parking lights 73-80 body style

    This trick also works on gauge bezels. Pull the gauge assembly apart and paint the inside of the big plastic exterior bright white. Your gauges will be twice as bright, guaranteed.

    AC charging

    But all that can easily be learned online. Changing all the parts you mentioned is easy. Anyone with half sense and a set of gauges can learn to do AC work just like anything else I the truck. Y'all act like its some forbidden impossible process

    AC charging

    i bought the 20 dollar air vacuum from harbor freight 4 days ago to suck down my brothers AC system on his 86 and it worked great. Taking my truck to a shop is not an option, ever. Ill learn and buy the right equipment before I let ANYONE around my truck when im not around
