Found the thread (it was, indeed, paveltolz that tied the string to some brackets of varying distances off the fender): http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?21982-Fender-fresh-air-vent Besides the findings that you need a scoop to get quite a distance from the fender, there's some...

I seem to remember seeing some video (don't know if it was paveltolz, or not) regarding this. It was done with streamers at various distances off the fender. At normal highway speeds, there wasn't clear/smooth air flow until at least 8" off the fender. I'm trying to find that post, but...

If it was just me, I'd do the same thing. But... we've got a vacation coming up in 2 weeks (500 mile trip, one way).... wife, and two small kids... you get the picture!

UPDATE: Well, it's still leaking out somewhere. Not from any place that I can readily see, though. I need some some front end suspension items replaced that it's going into the shop for, so I'll have them take a look at the A/C, as well.

Thanks for the details! I'm going to re-read that a few times. But, just so I'm clear, I can fill the system (using the gauge) based on the reading when the clutch is engaged? I'll also do my best to estimate 20ozs.... The cans I've been buying have 11oz in them, so that shouldn't be too hard.

OK, so I've been waiting to post back until I drove it for about a week. I don't recall seeing the pressure gauge "cycle" up and down before (but maybe I didn't take notice)... Yesterday I observed it, with the engine running, the gauge would read about 20PSI with the clutch engaged and when it...

Oh, geez! I forgot about this thread - thanks for bringing it back up! Well, yes and no. They replaced the dipstick and flushed the fluid. The dealer covered the parts, we payed the labor. As we drove it home, we noticed it still did it. They (the dealer) said "Drive it for a while - it...

Updating... Seems like charging it up is working. I've got two cans in it and it is engaging and blowing a little bit cold. I'm going to get another can tonight for tomorrow (PSI is hanging around 30, so far). Shiker - thanks for the PM's and the step-by-steps! Thanks guys! I never would of...

I ohmed each switch - both returned an "infinity" reading (open). I jumped both switches and pressed the "AC On" button - clutch did not engage. I used that cheapie pressure guage - it connects to the fitting on the low side tube. It read about 9psi. The "low range" on the dial goes to...

OK, just to make sure I've got this straight... I do see the two switches you guys are talking about (one on the high pressure line, right behind the compressor and the second on that silver can). So, I can jumper the pins of the plug and/or ohm test the pins on the connector (the piece the...

The wires going to the clutch look to be only 16 or 18 gauge. I didn't bother with a fuse (figured the worst that would happen is I burn up the 18g wires I used for jumpers). The clutch engaged and disengaged perfectly by jumping from the battery. But, unless I'm mistaken we need to figure...

Obvious? Nope! Slipped right past me! :rolleyes5: The fuse on the side of the dash is fine. But, that led me to check the relay under the hood. Here's what I found (NOTE: these numbers are with the A/C dash button on or off)... Pin #85 = 65mV (with A/C dash button "off", only goes to...

Noticed my AC wasn't blowing cold (this was the first time I had it on this season), so I pulled over and saw that the clutch is not engaging. When I got home I removed the 2-wire plug (on the AC), cleaned the connections and re-plugged the connector back on (actually unplugged and plugged a...

Oh, since most aren't familiar with Beru's, I just wanted to add that I bought them from Peninsular. My engine builder had been using them for some time and he was happy with them, so I used them too.

I have Beru. About 20K miles, so far - extended glow time, too.

Well, I finally got around to it the other day. Went fine - tore the right side apart. Then I started to remove the axle line off the wheel cylinder... the line started to turn with the nut. So I backed it off, forward and back a few times. Still was turning so I figured "go for it". Nope -...

How'd you know it came in a white box?

Ha!!!! The drums have "80000" stamped right on them! So, either the NAPA guy is getting bad info, or the AZ drums are, in fact, decent. Oh, I measured the hub hole wrong. I do have 4.8" holes. I'm sure NAPA will credit me the difference in $$.

Sounds good. I'll be picking up the parts today. I also ordered a Russell SS brake hose kit (3 hoses) from Summit. I don't know if I'll have time to tackle this project this weekend, but I'll post back when I do. Maybe I'll get some pictures for future reference (for others)?

Perfect, thanks again, guys! 3500GMC: What about just running the lug nuts onto the drum to hold it tight? It's just that it's much easier getting back there if the wheel isn't in the way. Also I happened to notice that the AZ drums you mentioned where for a 4.8" hub hole. My drum fits a...
