I think next time I rebuild my shocks I will just repaint them white and add rancho stickers instead of running fox stickers...

What about clear powder coat finish? -TP

232k miles, I have been chasing a intermittent TSS sensor fault that was causing erratic and harsh shifts and causing the transmission to hang in second or third gear. I replaced the transmission valve body control unit and added a performance automatic deep transmission pan and a dipstick kit...

I have been chasing a intermittent TSS sensor fault causing erratic shifting and hanging in second or third gear, i replaced the valve body control assembly, filter a performance automatic deep trans pan and their trans dipstick kit. All seems to be normal now, after re-calibration and a 45...

thanks for the input, the thing I am really concerned about is how bad/loud the drone will be when I tow my travel trailer. DD it is mostly only me in the truck and I can live with some but towing is the whole family and it may cause an issue.

How bad is the drone inside the cab? I have that setup in my garage I am waiting on some extra time to install it. -TP

lol by hand they suck. there is a bench vice tool that is supposed to make it easier but I have not made the $350 leap yet.

I do have a valve on the top, looks like a 2.5psi but the cap is not drilled. I used a derale cooler from summit. It was more stout than the gj cooler option and was able to fab similar brackets and I wanted to use AN fittings throughout. I ordered a small catch can from Amazon today, I hope...

NO valve, just a cap and the res top is not drilled. I will post some pics of the setup this evening.

I made my own kit with the Kartek reservoir and a different style cooler and completely bypassed the factory cooler in the condenser. The cap on mine is not drilled and it pukes a little down the side and makes a mess. My plan is to drill the top and add a small catch can that will catch the...

does the vent line on the reservoir cap vent to the atmosphere?

just going to leave this here...

100% agree spending some money on a good truck you already own is better than having a 1K/month payment on a new one.

My A/C would blow cold for about a minute and then warm, airflow was terrible and blend door actuators were toast. see the post here I found a layer of dirt about 1/4 inch thick on the evaporator that was causing the compressor the "short cycle" and the humidity sensor would always think it was...

hah i was almost there too, as soon as I found the broken studs I was contemplating having it towed to a mechanic but since the wife is working virtual I was able to steal her car and drive my land cruiser to work instead. lets just say my land cruiser's mpg makes me happy to be driving the...

Replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold, gasket and extracted the two broken studs causing the exhaust leak. I would rather remove and replace the a/c evaporator core again instead. -TP

The important question is will it fit through the Starbucks drive thru? or the McDonald;s drive thru since its a Gen1...:D

I started Saturday morning, worked on it for about 8 hours got it all disassembled and cleaned and back together Sunday afternoon after about 4 hours. Then about an hour or two to charge the system Monday after work. -TP

it was the one on the bottom between the floor and the HVAC box that the claim was made it could be replaced without removing it... not happening. At least not happening with a flow through center console and the floor vent under the front seats.

Yes definitely, the temp actuator was already making noise, so I replaced all of them even if they were still working. I have seen a couple videos claiming that you can replace them without removing the dash... it looked unlikely (without hacking it up) to me. -TP

not today but I replaced the evaporator and condenser, think O found out why my a/c wasn't working. This truck spent the first half of its life on a ranch and the dust and hay behind the dash show it. The Air conditioning works great now and blows 48* air out of the vents.

COOL! are you using the Maestro RR or the RR2 module? -TP

Does the iDataLink Maestro retain the on-screen climate controls? -TP

*starts searching for low mile 6.2 and a blower*

I am also mentally and financially preparing myself for a transmission rebuild/replacement...
