May-

I remember seein that interior shot with the a pillar a couple months ago on DF. Man what a difference it makes. I wanna get a 2 gauge pillar for mine, but im gonna hold off.
I love the rims, and the fact its a longbed. The longwheel base is king. Have you straped it to the dyno recently?

thanks.  i try to keep it as nice and clean as possible so that it will last me forever.  i usually only keep my trucks for about two years but i think that this one is here to stay.  i can't imagine if i had to get rid of it.

i really liked the turn downs because all you saw from the back of the truck was just the tip of them hanging down.  The only problem that i had was that i couldn't put on the hitch with them were they were so i had to move them and then found a good deal on the new tips that i have on it now so thats why they are not behind the rear wheels.

the turn downs actually sounded the same as it does now with them out to the side.  remember though that mine is a ctd and not gas.

They are turn downs, but they are on a CTD (the one in the pic).

i was actually talking to my dad about it and he said that if he could put a gauge on it then he could better understand what it was doing.  he said it could be one of the following... the line that is frozen to the drier is half way plugged,  could be too full of 134 refrigerant if someone else has charged it, could have some condensation built up in the lines and is freezing them as well.  like i said if you are ever near by stop and i will c what i can do.  im helping behindbars out on thursday with his window tint.  he is bringing his truck in and i have a guy that is coming to the garage to darken them up for him.

I was trying to get some help as to why thepiece with the arrow kept freezing up on me. My A/C would work absolutely fine, but then when I started turning down the fan speed, that thingamabob would freeze up and A/C would be non existant until it thawed out. it still does it, I haven't figured it out yet.

Here it is all frozen:


I can walk you through the battery tender thing. It was pretty simple actually. I wired it in when I moved my plug in spot to the rear instead of the front. Since I back into my drive, having it in the rear just made it easier.


The green thing on top should be your low pressure cut off switch. As the temperature drops, the pressure on the low or "cold" side of the A/C system drops, and this switch is directly connected to the A/C compressor clutch, and when the pressure hits a certain value, the compressor should click off, then click back on once the pressure comes back up. Next time it gets very very close, or starts to freeze up, see if the compressor is clicking on and off, if it isn't, you need to replace the switch. You'll probably have to take it into the shop for them to fix it though.

Anyways, That is my dad's old 1997 2500 5.9 Gasser, extended cab long bed. It was a company truck, but for all intents and purposes it was his truck, until his company sold it and stuck him with an SUV. Kind of sucks loading a bunch of lumber into a little SUV :-/
